Vengeance and I Did Not Hide

Vengeance

I'm not bitter

But those of you

Who thought yourself bigger

Will soon rue

You will soon lament

Your boorish confidence and intrepidity

The unending selfishness spent

Believing in your own superiority

Will desist

I saw where you were going

And where you were I confess

Was alluring

But I never knew your reign

You looked to me as everyone else

That grandeur you feign 

The money and beauty that manage your wealth

Will reveal your worth

Everything that creates your superiority

Has made me worse

My retribution won't command your inferiority

You will still believe that I'm beneath you

But in your heart you will concede

What sears your soul is what is true

And what I plead

We were equals as friends and family and lovers

You could have been my wife or my brother

Vengeance will come in what's growing inside, what grew

Is the realization that I was always better than you

I Did Not Hide

I did not hide

Your vision was not blurred or sullied

I was always a bully

I never would even think to try

To deceive you 

There was never a vail

And if I failed

In my nakedness to reveal what is true

You will discover soon

That what was never hidden

The detestable qualities in which I am torment-ridden

A darkness like the forrest under the new moon

Upon you will shine brightly

For what you cannot see in me

What you refuse to be

Is hidden in you frightfully

Within your cavernous heart and your fathomless mind

So when you are incensed by malevolence 

And black dissidence 

I will recognize your malignity in kind

And you will realize 

That you did not have to hide
