Resentment

People say forgive and forget 
They say live life without regrets;
I say that's easier said than done
Because vengeance is very fun;
Just forget the pain that's been done unto me 
Cause you didn't experience my misery;
If forgiveness makes you strong than I guess I'll always be weak 
Because my heart loves payback when awaken that's what she seeks;
What you reap is what you sow
Should I hold in the pain and anger or should I let it show?
Vengeance I love you, but you don't love me
I give you power through my animosity;
I want him to suffer like he made me it's only fair
You can beg me for forgiveness and I still wouldn't care;
Treat others how you want to be treated that's what I was taught
I don't like treating others badly yet that's what you brought;
Vengeance might become my fate
Hopefully I change before it's too late;
Forgiveness is an amazing level of spiritual maturity 
I know somewhere inside me want that purity;
It's not over I haven't buried the past
There's no telling how long these feelings will last.
