Resentment

I am the one who carries,

the throbbing pain of those memories, 

so, would be the one to pester,

and let these wounds fester,

but, it demands a payment, 

ending up as my resentment. 

Like a poison, it would seep,

spreading its branches, deep within,

with sadness and anger, it would grow,

every disappointment would let it show,

through the words, in our actions,

making us unhappy, a bitter person. 

For, we have endured for long,

any chance of forgiveness are gone,

even if we ignore, close our eyes,

it would still hurt, like a thorn inside,

and the darkness, clouding our spirit,

pushing us down, into spiraling negativity. 

So, let us choose separate ways,

nothing good comes from holding grudges, 

we are good people, leave the past behind,

retaining toxic emotions, makes us unkind,

all that weighs in heart, is a burden unknown,

let us create an opening, to loosen up. 

Seek understanding, cultivate empathy,

bridge this gap, through our kindness,

and it will heal our wounded heart,

by embracing the virtue of forgiveness, 

letting compassion be our guiding light,

I would finally get over...my resentment.
