Grudge
hold on
get angry spread negative venom through gossip that’s building up inside,
This spills out as you complain toxic words which poison the listener.
Bitterness and rage swiftly grasps your mind. Slanting and changing your perspective.
Rage, anger boil, bubble as you relive the inequities.
Madness burns deep within.
only person who feels this is you not the person who’s hurt you…
Forgive
but you don’t have to forget,
release the debtor of the debt,
free you become free
the chains of anger,rage,madness can’t tie you down
Negativity can’t capture your mind
peace fills your heart,
Your mind is clear.
Joy wraps itself around you.
The choice is yours, hold on to grudge or forgive, you decide….

Thanks Louie. This will hopefully be my first of many poems that I write.

Yes, words are like swords butcher sharp. One must be very careful with words. Those expressing grudge certainly evokes unhealthy atmosphere for a pleasant life. Well crafted lines!
Thanks Geetha for your comment. Yes our words are sharp and bring life or death. They shouldn’t be used lightly.
