I wrote this poem in November of 2022.

let me heal in hell

I wish I could forgive everyone who did me harm-
but something in me won’t allow me too
maybe it’s unprocessed trauma that still wants to speak-
about every single atrocity I’ve experienced
at the hands of those who said
they care for me and love me
I really wish I was better than this-
constantly holding onto these old grudges
but something in me still needs to heal
so I can stop obsessing about revenge

One thought on “poetry: obsessed”

  1. I agree with you about dropping revenge from one’s daily routine. It’s almost like we worship them in reverse, giving them so much attention and often times, they are such assholes that they will never apologize and we get pulled into some endless tug of war.
