We can move forward but we can't go back,
Are you making the right decision?
Actions have consequences can you take the flack,
If with others you cause a collision.

Do you look before you step into the fire?
You could be descending into Hell
Will it turn out fine or could it be dire,
Only you and you alone can tell.

Are your actions based solely on retribution?
Will the outcome improve your life?
In the end will it bring you a resolution?
Or will you end up suffering more strife.

Lowering yourself to the level of scum,
Is that what you really want,
If it’s to the depths of Hell you’ll plumb,
It’s a decision that will come back to haunt.

Reprisals are endless they’re never done,
As the need for retribution smoulders,
You’ll be in a battle that can never be won,
Continuously looking over both shoulders.

I’m not a believer in forgive and forget,
But moving on is how you will win,
Pleasure to them is you feeling regret,
Let your character emanate from within.

Revenge is sweet they say is the case,
What they meant I wish I knew,
Mimicking others misdeeds is an utter disgrace,
Gaining pleasure I’m afraid isn’t true.

The ultimate requite is to show you have healed,
This can and will alleviate your pain,
Doing otherwise the bare truth will be revealed,
