Is it really worth it?

Is it really worth it?

A Poem by Onlyme

Is it really worth it trying
getting your pound of flesh
on someone who has done you wrong?

Or should you just have
learnt from the upset and drama
of what they did and basically
move on from it?

Most people would say. Move on.
And learn from it. Like I would
say too.

But you get the odd person.
Who just insists on that bad
person who did them wrong,
getting their comeuppance.

And it ends up being their
mission.
To sort them out.

To me, I find that so sad.

As all they are doing is
wasting energy, time and
 effort on someone
 that is not even worth the
trouble.

Each to the own.
I guess.

But life is passing
 by quickly
and will be gone
one day.

And they will be saying
to themselves
on their death bed.

Where did my time and life go?

Basically chasing after a ghost that
hurt you. A long time ago.
God would tell them.

I like to get the chance to tell them _ If it comes my way by chance
I dont set out with that in mind

Like the university lecturer who said I was to old to begin studying again _ he had some very intelligent friends who had attempted to return to the books at my age and they failed

Aftr the exams he came and asked in haughty voice "Well how did you get on with your studies then did you pass?

I was pleased to be able to say "Yes Dr D; I got distinctions in all subjects"

I think it's always healthy to think of getting your own back.
You know, like bricking someone's door up. Sending parcels all week to their house.
Is that just me.

This is sad, I don't really understand some people why they are like this.
