Head stuck in a book,
Nothing new there then.
But then I read a passage,
And read it three times,
As it caused me to wonder.
Somebody had done wrong,
They had taken revenge.
By taking revenge,
Does it make you think more
About the original hurt?
Do those thoughts
Encroach on your life,
Taking it over,
So that you think of nothing,
But that hurt?
And is that why,
Those who are prepared to forgive,
Are much more likely,
To find peace of mind?
