If I Could Forgive

If I could forgive, my mind would be free
The weight of the world would be lifted from me

If I could forget, it would all fall in to place
I could look at you with love and not disgrace

If I could let go of the pain inside
Love would win, the resentment denied

If I could dig deep enough to find my core
I would have the strength not to hate anymore

If I could wipe all the images from my brain
I could rescue my head before I go insane

If I don't find a way I will be stuck in this cage
Forever bitter and twisted, a prisoner of rage.
