Why is Getting Anger Out of Us So Good?
Maybe because we are overcoming evil
Our emotions are complex
We don’t fully understand ourselves
But we know when we feel hurt
and it is difficult to accept
when we are wronged.
For many years, I just let it go
I was hurt, betrayed, and wronged
by many
I cried and moved on.
That worked most of the time
But, what about the wounds
that got lodged deeper
within the walls of my heart?
What does old anger look like?
This was interesting for me
as I found an old block of pain
within my soul,
left there from an unromantic
“romantic relationship.”
How on earth did I let
such a dead soul into my life?
How did I let that person in close?
It was hard for me
not knowing how dark and
dangerous some souls can be.
They want to inflict pain on you
to release the pain that was
inflicted on them.
To pass it on I suppose.
Maybe he felt if I can hurt her
as I was hurt
then I will feel better.
I will get my power back.
So, as I worked on chipping
away at this hard block of anger
in my soul
I conclude that he could not
carry the burden of his pain
anymore
that it was easier for him to find
another soul to take this burden
off of him.
So, Lord...
just like you took the sins of the world
onto you
maybe I too can be the one to take that
burden off of him
I can take his hard heart
and wounds from his past
over to you.
At least he got some of it
out of him
and onto me.
And now I can give it
all to you.
Thank you, Lord.
Amen.
