Resentment

I loathe the feeling of resentment Loneliness reigns over me and I need to repent It reigns over my once high spirits and my heart’s bent! Stop bringing me down to toil and lament! It swallows me whole like a troubled tidal wave, descending with heartless revilement I need a roof on my head or a tent! Abruptly making me feel atrocious anguish right this instant I’m sick of being on rent Avarice pushes it way inside of me and I feel as defenseless and feeble as an infant What is it like to be in someone else’s skin? I hate myself for everything that went Through my mind in the past…the adversaries of the past seem to haunt me and I’m trying to prevent Myself from losing control again…life’s like a cycle that keeps spinning on and I’m sponging in resentment I never meant to hurt you like I always do – I will apologize to you and I didn’t mean to torment All the times I’ve spent with each other makes me adore your savoring scent All of the sudden, you snicker at me insidiously like a hyena, about to hunt down its target, laughing with content You corner me with your fury and I shutter in vain by the sight of you, you're too close to me and your breath stinks - do you need a mint? Don't take it to heart, you crying infant I can't stop shaking like a timid deer, body-quaking with fear and you find this entertainment? Stop approaching me with your creepy ways, sinister monsters from hell - your screams of vile is perturbing and hell-bent Why do you regret making mistakes – we all make them…just acknowledge it and move on with life and don’t let it step on you like dirty cement Burn out this revolting rage that crowns us with disdain and be set free from bondage by simply doing the act of repentance and your time will be well-spent When I feel resent, I feel this monstrous malcontent… As if someone has beat me up and broke my nose as my birthday present Who invited this unwanted guest – Resentment?

a lovely poem, resentment is not a good feeling, i dont like the feeling either, i am a christian and i love the words vengeance is mine says the Lord, if i ever feel a bit resentful i think of that and think how God can do so much more than me alone, so i hold tight and just go with the flow.
