My Symbiotic Creation

I wrote this next poem after a discussion with a friend about "Harbor of Resentment". it describes what a resentment actually is, at least to me.

Here is my poem:

My Symbiotic Creation


Spawned from most anything,
only I can feed its growth.

Always by my side
Day after day being my constant companion.

When I retire it invades my dreams
robbing me of sleep.

Solely waiting for me when I wake up.
Freeloading on every vacation.

I pay heavily for its existence
while affecting my outlook on life.

It makes me eat less and drink more.
It makes me do things I don’t want to do.
It destroys my happiness and serenity.

All I have to do is learn to forgive and it dies.
