i'd burn his house to the ground
force him to die slowly
torture him for how he tortured me
make him understand my pain
but
it won't make my pain go away
it doesn't change what he did to me
my trauma wont suddenly vanish
I won't be healed all of a sudden
so
goodbye, goodnight, revenge
im too broke for that
too busy chasing my dreams for that
it's not worth it, to live in jail for you, where you should be.

Nice
A poem of self redemption and grace through letting go. Lovely and well expressed.
thank you
I understand this. My trauma is for sure different than yours...but I GET THIS. In fact, I wrote a poem at least 16 years ago about someone...toward someone...I was abused by. Not physical abuse...but verbal, emotional and psychological. The poem's title is Nothing to Me. I have contemplated publishing it, but have hesitated it because it is really raw and I flirt with the idea of revenge in it...but come to the same conclusion you do in this poem. Anyway. Thank you for your vulnerability, your raw emotions and for being a voice for the voiceless. ❤️🩹
Any kind of mistreatment or abuse usually leads to this kind of thing, no matter how different. I'd like to see it sometime, if you ever want to share it, I'm sure it will resonate. Thank you for your very kind words, it is my goal to be a voice for the voiceless, this means a lot to me.
You are welcome! My goal too friend!
Revenge is a very short lived high, then normally a life time of regret. I like the 2 sides of your poem it is well written, take care
thank you, wise advice
You are very welcome
