Resentment Poems

Choose that golden rule

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you
That's the golden rule, but is it true?
You see a world full of trouble and strife
What about a dark night, and a thief with a knife?

Do unto others as they do unto you
That's the revenge rule, in the bible too
They put it as "an eye

Judgement Day

Birthday, Christmas Day, Fourth of July
Easter Sunday, Thanksgiving, ain’t gonna lie
Holiday, Holy Day, Fifth Monday
Every day, all day, not a fun day

Each day, every day is Judgement Day
Each day, every day is Judgement Day

They look at you
They weigh you
They measure you
Any way they can

They find you wanting
They find you lacking
They find you missed the mark

Just One Thing to Leverage

She believed her Barbie's and Ken's
had shared a love far more complex
than any feelings they'd expressed --
AND dolls couldn't even self-dress!!!

She knew they were a mistake -
one she wanted them to address.
Her thoughts led to a request -
they both take a fear of change test.

Pleased to speak free, she confessed   
being a part

Circle The Wagons

When the cold winds blow
And the hostile natives are restless 
It’s time to wake up, smell the coffee
And cut your losses.

What is there to push back on, after all,
But the bitter taste
Of someone else’s resentment;
The mighty wind of their off-gassing.

The world is wild and cruel
Even within the treacherous smile of neighbors
When dog eats dog possesses

Guilt

Feelings were lost. i feel angry once more but not sad. Only guilt. I hate myself for it. 
My mental state of cause sent me to beings someone’s interest… when the tables turned
No interest was returned i had a sparse of ambition ready to scavenge a new life. 
The new life i thought i wanted

Gratitude

(“With Love”, 2017, original encaustic)

Gratitude

In a world of worries
There are always complex problems
And simple solutions.

So easily our habits spin us 
Into dizzying heights and depths
Our minds left seeking ways down and out.

When instead all we need do
To find a way through 
Is see it with a breath of gratitude.

Resentment Uphold

Money can be replaced or paid 
But resentment is hard to forget 
Because it comes from our heart
That's why we are to assist first
And think about it before we come up 
With a hurtful story
Because it's not that like dirt
That can only be taken a bath.

This little life of mine
I think I’m not inclined
To live the life I want
Don’t think I have the time
To figure out the wrongs
To Fix them from the right
But I’ll put up a fight, 
I will put up a fight 

Why do they not care
Why do they not hear me
I feel I see them here 
It’s

Habitual Resentment

Ever present, sometimes languished,
Almost gone, then reestablished.
This is why, defences high!
To your offer, no reply...

Claude Frollo

For I pry my damnest
Her legs of an oyster
For they do not give way
Thy lacking in moisture 
This night of great troubles
It pains me so
My loins are aching
Her pearls glow
A beauty to behold
Her spirit roam free
I have created her cage
A fear she will never love me
To control her is to have her
An immature thought
And that

Hidden Greenhouse

In her eyes alone
They radiated with light
When shone to another
No longer a beautiful sight
Why did they whither?
Not appreciated among many
And how it broke her heart
But she still watered them plenty
Locked away from the rest
They sat in wait
For a time and place
Where another may appear
For a moment of magic
Another face as dear
Other acceptable beauties were gazed

Sunflower

i love you but not in the way one should,
i feel for you in the way sunflowers feel
for the sun
you are my guide,
my star-
the one that brings me back,
always.

i stand tall under your rays,
bright and cheery
when you are there;
then you set, and i feel alone;
awaiting your return.

resentment is a two headed sword-

No 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

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

The Bitter Taste of Resentment

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 ire under control.
