POEM STARTER
Submitted by Maranda Quinn
They say forgiveness is a virtue, but I’d rather keep my anger.
Use this line as inspiration for a poem.
Is It Just A Grudge?
Am i selfish for holding a grudge?
Or am i keeping my peace?
What if my peace needs a little nudge.
Is my anger on a lease?
Are the feelings i hold temporary?
Is it better to give in?
Should i blind myself to the past and let go of this anger that i carry?
Even though that would be letting you win.
The hatred i have for you goes deeper than a grudge.
Yes it’s selfish to be so angry but it’s self respect for standing my ground.
This seems petty because I don’t budge.
What you don’t see is my anger goes deeper then sound.
The anger I express is never the anger I withhold.
So I choose to stay mad because you will never understand the feelings you put on to me.
Keeping my anger keeps my peace so no, I won’t fold.
The grudge that seems petty, is filled with a rollercostet of emotion that you will never see.
So am i selfish for the holding a grudge that you perceive differently?
