Revenge: An Ode
Revenge: An Ode
It is the past
That holds me back
Devoid of all hope
Choosing the wrong track
Thought it was best
Not to let it show
But the pain in my heart
Just wouldn't let it go
For we are young
And full of pride
Revenge is the only answer
You're in for a rough ride
For months on end
I schemed a plan
On how to make this revenge
As sweet as I can
Roses are beautiful
Full of pointy thorns
I'm like the devil
Minus the horns
My evil concotion
Finally comes to fruition
You may whimper and weep
But my hated runs deep
The anger causes pain in me
Too deep for human comprehension
Revenge is the only antidote
To this burning poison
The times you've wronged me
And the times you've made me break
I'll make sure that this apology
Is the one you cannot fake
If judgement is the sky
It feels pretty clouded
By thunderstorms of malice
And rains it is shrouded
I suppose we're immature
And we can't accept our faults
Apologies aren't sincere
Dissolving like bathing salts
As the time for revenge
Draws ever the closer
Can't wait to get this over with
All the more faster
It is finally the day
That I get my revenge
My target is in sight
Ready to challenge
My life suddenly flashes
Right before my eyes
Of how grateful I am
And realise how fast time flies
I slowly turn around
And walk away in silence
Thinking how much time I've wasted
Tilting my life out of balance
I guess that's life
It's got it's ups and downs
It's the way you look at it
That decides who gets to wear the crown.
