Last one for tonight! I think this follows Valerie more than her thinking... its almost like it follows her past and future. Enjoy!

Valerie: Revenge

There is nowhere to run or hide. There is no way to deny myself.

I hold the eyes of the hawk. I have my peace. I had my light. I had my recognition and simple life to live with others.

One day, a different life explodes into mine. I am destroyed beyond repair. I patch up, I give up, and I lose hope. I am stripped of my former glory. I am humiliated. I watch the eyes that glow in the corners of my mind.

I search for a light. I search for a tool. One day I find a box. It is small, and it is tempting. I am as desperate as a starving wolf left to scavenge for remains. I pull out the contents and a grin explodes in my face. Who ever fed me and returned to me some of my life, I thank that person with obedience and compliance.

I have a gift. It's a new ability. It is a choice. To choose it may mean success. I can avoid my sorrow. I can destroy my pain. I can settle a score is I wish. It is an attack. It is advancement. I quickly prevail as I learn and take action.

It is done. Now I look and view what has been done. I am a descendent of man I remind myself. I make mistakes, but there is no blame towards the other party anymore.

There is hurt from my justice. There is more pain from my actions. Is that what I want? Maybe I want more pain to forget my own. Maybe in my mind, what I did was right. Is it a bad action to gain revenge? Will everything be solved?

There is no resolve for if that person has no understanding, they are merciless. I have planted the seed. I have turned my head away. People can always turn a blind eye to many things. They don't want a problem to become theirs.

I am lucky to have someone who never gives up and lashes back, but the feud rages on from my own failure to keep an open mind. And so it continues until someone stronger intervenes.

Because many are blind to there own reasons and faults as well as others.

I wouldn't want to be her right now... man if my life was like hers, I would be bawling my eyes out! Danny is up next again... but I'll take a break and post him tomorrow. Until then,

Chow! : )
