Knife in my hand,
I bear the choice,
To end the pain or endure the suffering.
“Get revenge” they said,
But revenge is only best served cold,
With a hint of dilemma.
The sun descends into the horizon,
Watchful and aware of the darkness lurking,
Providing space for vengeance.
Victory is sweetest,
When it's against someone close,
Who wronged you.
Draped in red,
Fiery rage,
Time shall come for to pay for one's mistakes.
“They will get away” they say,
And I say, “If I don't stop them, then who will?”

Do you understand haiku?
Do you ever get sidetracked when writing? I do. I think it must be in the nature of the creative mind to draw connections and have a need to explore them. Since the World Wide Web became established in the 1990s, this has become a lot easier to do. The phenomenon being described as ‘going down a wormhole.’ Sometimes a distraction, but I have written some of my best work when I have disappeared down one web wormhole or another. It also happened in the days when most of my research was book based so we can't blame it on the internet. Book research was just slower. These days, guided by my AI friend, it is much, much quicker.

Deep and very honest about the feeling of payback. A feeling many can relate to. Excellent poem.
