my anger is festering like an infected wound
inside me it's multiplying
spreading over my heart and mind
and you, it doesn't hurt you at all
instead you're still smiling
because this infection is only inside my body
i shouldn't go to sleep tonight
and still let this anger and hatred run wild
i'm keeping the grudge alive
but it's not hurting you
it's only hurting me
i don't want to let you win again
so i'll swallow hard and smile back
and forgive you and forget my hatred and anger and hurt
not to help you, not for your sake
but to help myself, for my own sanity and health
