Divorce
I am filled with vengeance
I have been since my youth
I do not like it there
It rises up against my will
No, it does not
I have trained myself to accept it
Now I choose to simply reject it
Every time it screams my name
Vengeance never solves anything
It simply creates a snowball of hatred
Rolling down an eternal hill
Growing, growing
In its potential for mass destruction
I will choose the sunlight
I will take hold of one ray at a time
The snow will melt
Spring is coming
Very relatable for me: those thoughts most certain grow if given space. I now see angry vengeful thoughts as a kind of self poisoning, a venom that spreads inside. And I have found there is a secondary danger: of becoming numbed, of not feeling at all. It is as you say, the hatred must be replaced with light. Enjoyed this piece.
