Grudges Poems


Premium MemberGrudges

Grudges are the easiest thing/
To acquire/
But the easiest to let go/
Easier said than done/
Learn how to let go/
And not live the negative/
Grudge lifestyle/
Which only leaves you stuck/
In the ruts you have created/
Soon to see yourself/
Dig your own hole/
Only to comprehend/
That you're unable to climb out/
Of the grudge hole/
To lose your thinking ability/
Unable to let go/
Of petty grudges/
We thought/
Were important in life/

Premium MemberNo Anchor For Rancour

vexed to gall
no anchor for rancour remains
no safe harbor for grudges on crutches
nor bitterness born of regret's aftertaste
for we agreed to differ, with our bygones forgone
to move on to settle on a calmer, sheltered shore,
where rancour's chains and anchors hold fast no more
and we'll ride out the tempest with sails lee-bowed or on ashore
let it be, let it be,
let the rancour
be done!

Premium MemberDon'T Hold Grudges

Don’t
hold
grudges
bitterness
ages so poorly
crushing weight ripping your own soul

Debris

If only tears could talk,
They would surely be cutthroats.
If only fear could walk,
It would blindly go toward you.
And if only grudges are strong,
It would hold you forever.
 
If I would be honest about what I feel,
and follow the lead of my freewill,
I will unquestionably end up in hell,
And yet I will still say that I am well.
 
This ain't just poetry or one of the romantic passages.
This is mind and heart unleashing the damages,
When the mind says no and the heart no longer says yes either,
Neither yes nor no, it no longer knew what to say, for it has withered,
And the soul that aches is silenced by the guilt of morality,
Tell me you will be there for me in another infinity.

Premium MemberBitter Grudges In Your Guts

Stormy clouds are traveling through your heart
And bitter grudges are ruining your happiness
Hate destroys and love builds everything which
Is beautiful. Get a grip on yourself while the midday sun
Shines on the neighboring hills and on the blue sea
Being angry, day and night, is bad and dangerous
Start by gathering a myriad of beautiful roses
For your life. Sometimes one must stop for breaks
You are the only person in the world who's perfect
What will you do, dear friend, on your last birthday?
Because you must weed and burn the grudges and excuses
You need more light; it's time to change the fuses
Humility is a divine gift. You must drown the grudges
That block you from living under the light of beautiful moons.

Letting Go of Grudges

Holding grudges shouldn't be
Part of you or part of me
It just makes you really sick
By building up a really thick
Layer of hate deep inside
Because of our stubborn pride
No one saying sorry first
Even though we're gonna burst
Into a fist of hellish rage
Getting on the same darn page
Isn't easy when we are
Taking this grudge way to far
Lets sit down and straighten out
How this hating came about
Talking so sincere and freely
Opening up honestly

Premium MemberGrudges Do Not Work For Me

I held a grudge 'til four o'clock
And then I watched TV.
Remembered it at nine.
It very much hurt me.

Took grudge to bed and nurtured it.
Next to my favorite pajamas and pillow.
Added a bit of exasperation and sass to it.
Bigger now, it scratches me rough like brillo.

Took it out and shook it every hour.
Woke up in a terrible bad mood.
Sad I had allowed it all this power.
Glad I fed it no food.

Grudges

People tend to hold grudges.
Why not forgive, God surely does. 
Take more time to really listen.
Because every story has to end.
When a loved one passes, you can't go back.
To say what you wanted, and to see them react.

I Didn'T Hold Grudges

I suffered,he laughed
I filled up  his voids, he created mine.
I looked for roses,he gave cactus
I looked only for his heart,he focussed on my body
I healed all those stitches,he gave me wounds..
I ignored him,he started following
I left him,he cried
I didn't hold any grudges,he holds guilt.

Grudges

Nameless hurts evolve within the galaxy of the heart,
breaking the soul's grasp of eternal delights.
Bitter voices stir the brewing poison of judgments,
bringing hatred to the human mind's faulty sight.

Blame's lies escape each mortal lip,
hissing with a belief's fractured thought.
Pain drowns the songs of truth,
making waves from the tears so easily bought.

Grudges block the entrances to peace,
letting hate grow within the human shell.
Souls bathe in misery's dark glow,
leaving love trapped in despair's cell.

Anger carves sorrow into the fragile spirit,
hollowing out the breathing breast.
Tempers erupt with selfish passions,
as human egos fail compassion's test.

No More Grudges

I once held grudges but I’m done so it’s over

Finally, you can stop looking over your shoulder.

Wisdom came as I got older.

The hate is the weight of  a bolder.

It won't take my pain away, it only makes me colder

The Abc's of Grudges

The ABC’s of Grudges
     By Dane Smith-Johnsen

Argument begets contentious disagreements.
Endlessness forever grinds.  Harrowing.
Illusion, joyfully keeps laughter minced.
Nonetheless, ominous paltry quarrels revile.
Scorn traverses unquenched.
Victory's wailing xenagogue- (guide)
Yesterday zaniness.


(Simple solutions:  Love one another and forgive as God will forgive us… or not.)

Grudges

They are so overrated
Yet commonly used
Many of Which
Never quite diffuse

What is the purpose 
Egotism and gangs
Fighting and rivalry
Hate and shame 

What happened to that saying 
forgive and forget
Let go and let live
Carpe diem never fret

Get over the problem
Shake hands and move on
Regret is the worst
When the victim is gone

Being sorry is okay
Showing you care
Admit you were wrong
Climb your next stair

Life is too short 
As we all now realize 
Never hold grudges 
It's ruined many lives

Grudges

I know holding a grudge isn't healthy
they say you should just forgive 
but I sometimes I can't
not matter how hard I try
when someone hurts me badly
I don't see any turning back
I can't sit here and look in your eyes
and not harbor a hidden hatred 
for making me feel so sad 
you guys were supposed to 
be my friends 

wounds like these don't heal over nite
sometimes I really miss you guys
cause we did everything together 
But I could never look 
at any of you guys the same
so when my cellphone rings 
I just stare and let it go to voicemail
Now I know I shouldn't hold a grudge
cause people who do end up alone
but how do you forgive someone
who did something so wrong 
than look them in the face
and just try to move on 
         I can't.....
