Revenge Version 2. Poem by bimisola Babalola

Revenge version 2.

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,
“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.”
This is what they say, people I see every day, telling me to stop, telling me to Let go of the things that drive my soul,
The rage that cannot hide,
Waiting to burst from it’s cage inside,
This revenge I seek is like no other,
But I do not know if it can tame the monster.
The End.
