Lukewarm Revenge

How would you see yourself? Would you be decent then?

What would you do

if someone took your small bit of hope

and crushed it with

a shake of their head?

No, you're not pretty.

No, you're not good enough.

No, you're not even decent

like you at least hoped you were.

How would you deal with the earthquake?

The tornado of rejection

swirling to your eyes,

when your face remains so still.

Just a lip quiver on the outside,

while the broken heart swims

and drowns in the tsunami erupting inside.

What would you say

when you had the chance to give it back?

Return the favor, return the destruction

with that same tragic shaking head.

Would you take that power in your hands

and use it like it was before?

Would you stoop down to drowning hearts

and quivering lips

just to see fullfillment?

How would you see yourself then?

Would you be decent then?

Do onto others what others do onto you...type of a verse here...the ideology that we as a society put on each other is compounding...yet put yourself --- the other way around...and wear their shoes...would it really make it better...lesson learned...an error for a return in vengeance...I'd rather learn and move forward...forgive is divine and have peace of mind...
