“I see a beautiful city and a brilliant people rising from this abyss. I see the lives for which I lay down my life, peaceful, useful, prosperous and happy. I see that I hold a sanctuary in their hearts, and in the hearts of their descendants, generations hence. It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest that I go to than I have ever known.” ―Charles Dickens

Bitter

April 11, 2017

The girl’s words were harsh

Spitting words at her “friend”

Her attitude the opposite of sweet

 

Words past by

Making her “friend” cry

She wanted to stop

But anger powered over her

 

Acid ran down her face

Memories ran through her mind

At last

She walked away

Leaving nothing but hatred

And regret
