Revenge.
I held a grudge so tight as if my life depended on it,
I yearned for the day that my Revenge would come,
I longed for the day that Justice would be done,
I planned every bit and thought it through,
Remembering that the things they did to me were cruel,
And though many told me to let it go,
I swore upon my torturers what they reap they must sow,
But that final day that my revenge was done,
That final day that justice was done,
I felt like a monster who killed without reason,
Then I truly knew that Revenge was like poison,
You have to let it go or one day it might kill you,
Because revenge is a poison that will never fulfill you.
The End.

Indeed revenge is like poison, a terrible negative emotion that deprives one peace of mind. Forgiveness is by far a more fulfilling emotion than revenge. A lovely piece of poetry, well articulated and nicely penned with insight. Thanks for sharing and for your comment on my poem THE PHOENIX STRANGLER.
thank you very much, your comment is appreciated.
