I’m in a room from which I sleep
Nothing can see me, nothing do I seek
Sunk down inside the black
Feeling no return and stabbed in the back
It’s my pride that burns
No one consoling
No comfort, no grace
Just nasty beings, leaving me to dwell in this place
Imagining a bitter sweet payback or more
This offender with no clue for what I have in store
Thinking about all that I stand to lose
Brings me back to my pride and feeling the need to prove
No matter, my family gone
I submit to the inner voice for which I am drawn
Planning my strategy, I set out on my plight
Driving my car in the middle of the night
The hard pounding rain camouflage’s the sounds of my adrenaline
Oh my brain!
I get out of my car and find a place secluded, but not so far…
I see my target
he’s in my sight through the scope of my gun, that I’m holding tight
I think again… “is this reaction right?”
Knowing I’m right and my family’s gone
It’s my gun that I’ve chosen and drawn
Aiming my sight at his monstrous head
I can see the tiny dot of red
Pulling the trigger was like show motion
I ran through a series of emotions
Remembering what they looked like, looked like that night.
House strewn, a bloody mess
I cleaned it myself… bucket of water
I was under much duress.
Finding items that once had no meaning
All of them that night seemed to be bleeding
Rocked with nightmares of what once was
I wake up now alone and numb
Seeing the monster finally fall
It occurred to me I wasn’t happy at all
Arrested and convicted for killing a man
He killed my family for which I am now damned.
Justice in Payback
With the loss of family this person decides to take matters into her own hands to get the feeling of justice. In the end, the payback was not so sweet.
