Just take it all away

Just take it all away

A Poem by Donald Olds
"

I got the inspiration from Hamlet

"

I was blinded by rage,

Just the thought of you makes me boil.

I had to do something, something that

Would take it all away.

Just take it all away:

You’ve kept me in the shadows

Just barely keeping me alive;

Slowly feeding me to the animals

Slowly all the pain fades away

As I stand there and watch you die.

Finally I got my way,

After you’ve taken so much away.

Taken what was rightfully mine.

But as I stand here and watch you die

I know that I’m going

To heaven, while you’re

Being tormented in hell.
