Cleansing the Dirt Away

When the dirt left behind

Embeds into your soul 

Despite the scalding showers

It’s stays stagnant within 

When the pain and rage 

Building inside expands 

punishing innocent bystanders 

It’s a self destructive path 

Leading to nowhere 

But isolation and hate 

We fall and hit bottom

We learn and we grow

Then rise higher than he 

Who put the hurt there

That dirt there 

He stays at that low point 

We understand that self love

With the power of forgiveness 

Can let go of the pain and hate 

And cleanse away the dirt
