It's Better Not to Butter Bitterness

It's better not to butter bitterness.
Discuss it...
Then let it go.

Don't let it sit,
To discover it has become a chip
On your shoulder.

Forgiving and forgetting,
Is a goal one can finally reach.
Once the sweetness has been squeezed,
From pretense and anger.

It's better not to butter bitterness.
Especially when some folks,
Love to keep others roasted.
