Hollow Victory
I got revenge but it was a hollow victory.
Instead of getting pleasure, it horrified me.
Last year, a man raped and murdered my little sister.
The pain is unbearable and I sure have missed her.
That punk got off because he was kinned to the Kennedys.
His underhanded lawyer convinced a jury to set him free.
When he came home last week, I used a knife to disembowl him.
I lept out from behind some bushes and his death was grim.
I thought his death would make me feel really good.
But killing him didn/'/t please me like I thought it would.
It shocked and horrified me, I feel even worse than I did before.
What I/'/m feeling on the inside is just too much for me to ignore.
I/'/m going to turn myself in no matter what punishment it brings.
I/'/ve learned the hard way that revenge isn/'/t a good thing.
