I want vengeance
That's all I know
The word
The action
Vengeance

To say it
Invokes hatred
To make it
A motive
To achieve it
Unspeakable

I want vengeance
My parents told me
Unknowingly
Grabbing it is
How to survive

Envy
Jealousy
Anger
Frustration
None of them can measure

When you've done
What you've done
I get
So malevolent
There is no forgiveness
That you can give
I want vengeance

I thought it was very simple; your thoughts revolved around one thing, and you didn't elaborate thoroughly; you expressed Vengeance in a form of need, and it didn't make sense. Vengeance should never be a need toward anything unless it's provoked by a force in which opposed it. I thought this poem was rather unique though; i only wish you would have elaborated.
