SWEET REVENGE

The following is a collection of poems written on the train commuting from Brighton to London where I was having to deal with crowded trains, stressed out human beings and a fast paced life where people seemed to care for only themselves. People can be so annoying sometimes! Instead of reacting to these situations verbally, and then stressing myself out, I would write about it in the form of poetry. And to thank the person for inspiring the poem, whether the words were of a good nature or a negative one, I would give it to them. It was my sweet revenge. I would always give them the original copy, and I would keep a copy so I could share it with the world. I was often pressed for time and nervous about giving them the poem but this only added to the excitement and drive for me to write. I believe words can fix problems and it is a much better tool than raising a gun to someone’s head. Wouldn't you agree?
