Holding anger

Don't hold anger in your heart for yesterday
The today that we all let go
The future will bring a new day
And the past we already know

It's hard to do this simple thing
It takes more than just some phrase
To stop yourself from dwelling
And get on with your new todays

I don't have a trick, other than practice
Do repetitions of forgiving yourself
You probably won't achieve a bliss
Or the otherworldlyness of Tolkein elf

But you will, little be little, carry a little less weight on your path
Which will make it easier, one day, to throw back your shoulders and laugh
