A bitter taste fills my mouth.
A bitter taste fills my mouth as I took a bite of the sweet cake.
I am jealous,
Why did she get a party to celebrate her birthday? Why did she get a gift after receiving her result? I had a birthday too
And I got none of that
I scored higher than her
Yet all I got was the silent treatment, which translates to,
"Acceptable as you are not a complete failure"
I was resentful
I was resentful for a lot of things
It is not fair
I was born without much wealth.
I was born to people who would rather spend days,
Days and nights yelling at each other
Screaming how they hated each other
And how much they hated me
It is not fair
I got made fun of in school,
They called me "fat" They called me "ugly" Every action of mine was criticised
It is not fair,
I made a friend-
A very close one
Only to have them leave
They say "the grass is always greener on the other side,
keep to your own side; it's where you belong
But what if I do not belong here?
Why should I be stuck in a place of darkness?
It simply is not fair.
But at some point the bitterness reaches a boiling point,
A point where being resentful hurts you more than your life
During times like that I just keep going
I may not know what I am doing
But I just keep going
I am trying my best
I have no clue what I am doing
But I am trying my best
At times I falter
But I am trying my best
Resentment isn't something which should be avoided but it is not something you should embrace either,
Resentment is the antidote
Resentment allows you to realise you deserve better
And work towards better
But resentment is also the poison as,
Too much resentment makes you stuck to the past
I am not better
I still feel bitter
I still feel numb
I still feel anger
But I am trying my best
