Your Life Has Just Begun Poem by Patricia Kelley

It’s hard to forgive when you’re angry.
When you start thinking about how people have done you wrong.
You just sit back and feed that anger feeding it until it becomes hungry.
You feed your anger by becoming bitter.
It can make you a silent hitter.
The more you think about it the steam builds up.
Until you sip from the death cup.
You can’t sip from it.
You’ll get burnt by the steam from it.
You just have to forget it.
Some people are greedy.
Some people are seedy.
You just have to forget them and move on.
Let God deal with them,
Yes, they will have to answer for what they’ve done.
They’re not going to get by with the evil they’ve done.
They danced with the devil.
Becoming greedy by evil,
Don’t give in.
So what if they were your kin.
You don’t have to see them anymore.
They set the dividing score.
Even though you feel defeated,
You weren’t beaten.
They can never hurt you again.
Walk away from the storm and don’t walk back into the rain.
Feeling yesterday’s pain.
They have nothing to gain.
What they’ve gathered will all turn to dust.
While you stand just.
Remember who you are.
Your life has just begun.
