Retaliation

Retaliation

Or at least the thought of it

Over little things

For this I have no excuse

Except for being human

I long to be more

Much more than this petty man

One that’s full of love

Unconsciously forgiving

WIth not one expectation

Even this is hard

This one solitary thing

Before the gauntlet

It is called being human

This one–I cannot escape

    Nicely penned, Dominic. Thoughts we struggled so often in our minds but rarely make good on it…thankfully for them, sadly for the only person suffering is us.

      How very true. I find that I fall into this quite often while driving (I’m sure that many of us do), but it is really over what should be nothing. I am trying to be more tolerant. :)

        I find living alone, I may have TOO much time to think sometimes and although I preach it…counsel it…I need to assert myself more often or just “let it go”.

        Same here my friend, most of the time just letting it go is the best course of action. :)
