Best Resentment Poems

are you free, humanity, by power of love 
or in chain by love of power or by lack of it? 

a student of The School of Resentment asks…

back in time,
at such dominant spaces  
called Shunganunga, here
or Hora Arsadi, Malka Atete, Tullu Nam Dur, there—
where...

He gnawed on his resentment
In public and alone
Like a dog he kept on worrying
The marrow from the bone
Till he gave himself an ulcer
Till his teeth got small and stumpy
Till other dogs said, Hang on, Fang
You’re starting to look grumpy
He wouldn’t leave the thing alone
Just wouldn’t...

as time passes by;
like word born on the streets,
you never knew hard,
till it hits you deep within.
even if there is pain without the tears,
it doesn't mean it's any less of a struggle to forget.
hard aches on heartaches,
resentment is hard to leave by when the regret...

I've made a grave mistake
Of trying to comfort and care for you

I've made a great error
Of trying to help and support you

I've lived on a huge lie
Of listening to false and fake words from you

I've felt a major regret
Of giving my companionship and kindness to...

I remember on the plane how bitter I felt.
Looking around seeing all the drinking, partying, and people having fun.
Why couldn't I have fun anymore?
My sweet little wife sat beside me on the plane,
and was so sick from Chemo that she couldn't think well.
Once back at...

We've dreamed in vivid shades of shame, 
These thousand years since we did fall;
Our visions feast on hate and blame 
The cost; our power, pride and all

Oh, why did you forsake us then?
Did we lose our faith, then lose your way?
We fell as angels, now...

It takes a long time 
To figure out if things went right
To find out if you did what was best
If you passed all those unknown test

An perfect life doesn't exist
Parenthood involves to many variables
Of which you cannot control

It is not easy raising a child
From preconception...

Resentment is a negative emotion
that casts aspersion upon others
when perhaps the fault really lies
in the depths of our own being.

Deceiving ourselves is a flaw,
one of our human imperfections,
while expecting too much of others.
Resentment leaves such a bitter taste.

Rancor inflames both heart and soul,
so, keep your...

Treasured cherished memories
Of better joy filled days
Ravaged by the cruel passage of time
That took my joy away

Bitter sweet taunting memories
Stored in the darkened corridors
Of my mind
Where there can be found
A  worn video set to rewind.

Carefree now savoured special times
Stored in the eclectic album of...

Resentment and Rage

Such a sweet lady
Chatters away on messenger and WhatsApp maybe. 
Becomes a life line of care
Both ways we share

Closer and closer we fall
My soul, I gave her my all
Looking forward to a future of union

Love in versions not mine
Sends out words to define
Differences...

#Resentment

long before she fought to be love by him,
She waited for me.
long before she decides to change her faith,
she prays with me.
long before she was called to become his,
she was mine.

YOU'RE ALL I'VE EVER KNOWN
I'VE NEVER BEEN GIVEN THE CHANCE TO BE INDEPENDENT
YOU MADE ME THIS WAY
YOUR CREATION...LIKE A PUPPET
YOU FORCED ME TO LEAN ON YOU
DO YOU FEEL POWERFUL
HAVING SO MUCH CONTROL
DO YOU FEEL BETTER ABOUT YOURSELF
BELITTLING ME
NOT BELIEVING IN ME
I HATE THAT YOUR SUCH...

As resentment attacks our pale soul,
We sit in the dark surrounded by confusion,
We start to think about this dark sorrowful life,
And we feebly face our sinful feelings,

As resentment attacks our pale soul,
Our quivering bodies run away from themselves,
Trying to find somewhere to hide,
But sadness conceals...

With a silence that cut through the laughter
She entered the room, bitterness
Edged around her features, portraying
Cruelty with an unfeeling sword of darkest
Gloom, dread so dismal it feels, almost,
Like grief sinking into the bones
Sullenness coughing up phlegm that rots
In the heart, the soul, the mind
Where there...

When I see injustice bribe
The heart with hope
The mind with confidence
The soul with enlightenment
Anger silences my dreams
Colors my voice, my speech
In hues of exasperating need

When I see darkness begin
To win the struggle, making sin
Feel like it should be the answer
The reason, the way between
Doubt and...
