You who harbor resentment,
Do you not know?
Your heart is a breeding ground
For that nasty crow.
She has nested on my shoulder
Pecking at my temples
Cawing in my ear
Making my head tremble.
Like a raven on a bust,
Only ever saying “nevermore.”
Reminding me who was preferred
In this ever-becoming lore.
I should have been chosen.
That person is a fool-
A pessimistic and narcissistic,
Low down idiot tool.
You who harbor resentment,
I know what eats you,
For I harbor it daily,
Against many, not a few.
Ha .. ha ..!

Being female, I can picture resentment manifest as a “nasty crow”, and of course, a she as well. 😊 Love your poem.

Thank you for reading and commenting! I enjoy adding personification (or in this case, animalisation…)? My favorite poem is “Academia is Dead” where Academia is also personified.
