“Revenge” Poem of the Day (2023)

“Revenge”

By Ashley O’Hare

Revenge

is the ultimate fool’s errand.

There is no purpose.

Future actions

do not impact

tragedies of the past.

Blood on your hands

only succeeds in

making a great mess.

Keep your head up

so you can find

the high road

to bring you home.

Pain

is easier to cope with

than swallowing the great burden

of losing yourself.
