Day 12 — The Person That Caused You a Lot of Pain

I've stated on more than one occasion that writing is therapeutic for me. There are times, however, when I wonder if writing about something/someone can really make me feel any better about the situation/person. I mean, what if I spill my proverbial guts and all the negative feelings are still there? To me, writing is like crying...no matter how much you do it, it doesn't change the situation...and the feeling of relief only lasts for so long. Priscilla Renea (look her up) says in one of her songs that crying doesn't always solve your problems; in fact, it generally prolongs them. So, is that a risk I'm willing to take with my tears/words? Is this person worth that much of my time and efforts?

Yes.

We all know what you did
you, me, and God
and it seems like from that moment
you made it your goal to play the victim
but what you choose to forget
is that you are the guilty party

We all know what you did
you, me, and God
you sit there all proud
playing the innocent role
so well that you must
believe it to be true

We all know what you did
you, me, and God
i watch you manipulate situations
causing people to see what you wanted
throwing your weight around
simply because you have so much to throw

We all know what you did
you, me, and God
and the thing that hurt the most
wasn't anything that you did to me
all the lies that were told
in hopes that people would side with you

We all know what you did
you, me, and God
but i'm done holding it against you
because none of us are perfect
and since God knows what you've done
i don't have to worry about revenge

We all know what you did
you, me, and God
