karma

 
my pain is deep and cutting
but I like the way it feels
with a slice into memory
telling myself lady, you shouldn't have done that

I review my life taking inventory
I ache with regrets
they pain me greatly
I've affected peoples lives
changed their trajectory
that's a powerful thing,
affecting a soul's fate

I keen knowing sometimes it was negative
I bring out the worst in a person
they react then Karma gets them later because of me
punished for acts of violence
I wince when I see it
payback for treating me bad
I think it's too harsh
I pushed their buttons

I don't know but I do know this
I feel the karmic waves
I disturb the pool and I pay dearly
