They say forgiveness is a virtue,

But I’d rather keep my anger -

Shallow it may be, but dragging me way deep,

This vengeful anchor -

Subdued in hostile waters,

Could’ve called a truce but dialed up slaughter -

Harbor a grudge and won’t budge,

Until I’m through inflicting torture -

Full-grown, I should know better,

But it’s a full-blown vendetta -

Mistake my ambitiousness for viciousness

When I say I’m a go-getter -

My heart froze over,

Now my soul on ice glides -

I cold shoulder the load of,

Never letting it slide.
