…Open The Can Of Worms…


Open the can of worms and let them go,
Release it to find happiness and peace,
Get rid of the hate and anger,
Let go, free it, and let it release…!

Release all the pain, anger and hurt,
And move on to a newer plane…
And once you have done that,
You will feel start to feel whole again!

My can of worms was large,
And full of hate inside,
But I opened it and let it go,
And I did so with much pride.

For a very long time I've hurt,
And cried an ocean of tears,
Hated with a vengeance so harmful,
I've held on to it for too many years.

But it's self harming, and festers and grows,
And oh, so very wrong,
It didn't do me any good…
To hate with a passion so strong!

My can of worms was harmful,
It ate me away, festered and grew,
And for many years I had denied,
That I knew what I had to do!

I had to find peace within myself,
For me to open my heart wide,
For to forgive, we have to accept,
That with hatred comes loss of pride!

They say pride goes before a fall,
And I never really knew what that meant,
But for the first time in my life...!
Forgiveness for me was Heaven sent.

You see, sometimes in life it's so very hard,
To forgive, to lose hate and move on,
But tonight that's exactly what I did,
And finally, yes, I've won!
