Anger is a Burden

Filled with vengeance, you hate someone
Seething with anger you are thrusting the sword
Steaming with malice you want to hurt the other
But this angry sword is double edged
As you stab the other person, the other end
Is piercing deeper and deeper into your own heart

The Ladder

Now and then you wrangle and squabble with failure
Engaging each other into a fierce brawl
You are so bitter with failure as you struggle
You are trying hard to reach the very top
You are aiming to be where gold and honor abound
Where your most desired dreams lie waiting
Until when with much effort you reach the top
And with much relief you look down, victorious
