I hate you and I hate you more

This poem is for those who hold senseless grudges against people.


I demanded respect,
I thought I ought to get it,
After all the things I did for you,
You didn't even have the sense to talk to me well,
I said "I'll never speak to you again,
You are banished
from my life,
You cannot live without me,
You cannot survive",
That was ten years ago,
I remember vaguely,


Now when you pass by,
I see,
You are doing better than before,
better than me,
I don't know what to say,
Did my curse go unheeded by the gods that I pray so much to?
Did my words cause nothing but pain to me
and to you?,
Was I wrong in doing what I did that day?
No,
If given a chance I'd do it all over again


This is also for those who never learn that their grudge is useless and no one cares after a while.

    Expectation some times hurts. It is one of the causes for depression and worries. So better not to expect and be happy.

    Makes a lot of sense! When you're so dedicated towards something you wouldn't be able to accept when things go wrong, and you stick to it. But for them we r just another passing cloud!! Luvd the post!

    Grudges doesn't affect anybody's life. Its our perception about the grudge that actually starts affecting us. A problem is never a problem, its only our reaction towards that problem that creates the actual problem....confusing? Its like that :)
    Wonderful post, thanks for sharing :)
