When you refuse to let go of the hurt.
When Revenge Is All You Have

When revenge is all you have,
you become blinded by hate;
whether justified or not,
your vision is no longer truth.

After you have lost everything,
there’s nothing left to gain;
destruction is all that follows,
leaving nothing behind to return to.

There is nothing to look forward to,
no matter what you do or say;
trauma from your past haunts you,
leaving you nowhere to hide.

When you have no hope left to see,
you lose sight of what’s important;
you alienate those who love you,
and leave a trail of pain behind.

When revenge is all you have,
you become blinded by hate;
whether justified or not,
your vision becomes your truth.
