Revenge only damns

Indignation is rearing its monstrous head. I know I am in such a better place but this flood of resentment comes at me out of no where. It is as though it stalks me and waits for that hesitation in my soul, a fleeting thought, and it attacks with a vengeance. Why attack me? Was I the dishonest one? Did I skulk around to devour the innocent? I still have my honor. I may not be perfect but I am who you see. Why do I suffer from these attacks of self pity when I am the victor? You say "you are only human" but I say "so is my attacker." Does that render the hurt void? So I stoically raise my head, I arm myself with my shield of resistance and I will live my life. Justice is fleeting and revenge only damns me. I refuse capture. I will overcome this obstacle and live to tell the tale. And we will all live happily ever after.
