Why Should I

“Why Should I?”

    

Why should I?

Remember, forgive and not regret?

How can lessons be learnt?

If all we do is forget?

   

Aside from the teachings,

Put the lessons aside.

I poured blood into the sand,

All I found was lies.

  

Why should I,

Allow myself to be lessened because of you?

Forgive and forget,

I don’t think that’s true.

   

Our past builds us,

Exactly who we are.

And life offers no warranty,

On the car.

  

Be who you are,

Take the parts that make you strong.

Leave the remains,

It won’t leave you wrong.

  

Why should I?

Forget, forgive, not cry?

Turn the other cheek?

Why should I?
