Knock, Knock

Have you been disrespected? Do you feel inhumanely rejected? Is disappointment reflected? Is it time to pay them back For their unprovoked attack Since it is forgiveness That you lack Do you feel justified For the violence You applied To coincide For the satisfaction Of your reaction Does it feel good To meltdown And show your misunderstood Or do you regret your actions And wish to take it back if you could What compels us In our revenge Why is it delicious To feed our need to be vicious When it comes to self satisfaction of a slight Why, the perpetuation of the need to be right Does it matter to you or your ego That needs to be stroked Or is it simply the embarrassment That needs to be cloaked They say it's better to turn the other cheek But for most It appears as a display of the weak But if you look deeper you will see The power of forgiveness Is a gift of the meek A skill that we should all seek Retribution is a vile course Something for your soul to divorce While looking for remorse From the only source Worth searching for God The keeper of eternity's door Will you knock? Or be lost evermore? Eric (and sometimes not)
