Why do our hearts stir with anger
When we see those that burdened our minds with pain?
Why does our joy disappear
With memories that scarred our feelings?
Why is our laughter
Replaced by a pitiful sadness
When we fail to forget our source of sorrow?
Why do our thoughts beam with hatred
When past misgivings are resurrected
From our sealed archives?
Maybe,
Our souls are bereft of happiness
Because we bury our pains
In our loose and fragile hearts
Tearing us bit by bit
Without realizing
We would feel less pain
When we refine our buried grudges with forgiveness

For so long I’ve been filthy,
drenched in the sea of darkness.
I’m without form and messy,
craving and seeking to be reformed.
Down from the very sole of my feet,
I yearn to be regenerated.
ANEW
For a while I’ve wandered in negligence,
straying from the path of prudence.
Lost in the implication of my carelessness,
deep beneath the borders of my heart,
emanates the desire for a rebirth.
After tarrying in the fiery furnace of refining,
I have emerged with a radiant purity.
Now I am reborn! anew as a suckling
babe,
transformed and renewed,
after my filth has been watered.

Alas! I’m anew and reinvigorated!
I am reborn!
Like a new born baby!
