Disowned and disinherited a year ago,
I am struggling in a way that I had sadly anticipated.
When I get a chance for a little payback teaching one of my high school bullies a lesson, I take it.
Mostly because it came with a lot of money.
That should have been a sign –
The situation was a trap,
And I was foolish enough to fall for it.
Imprisoned with one of my least favorite people,
I know I can’t leave.
For everything he did when we were younger,
He doesn’t deserve the beatings and torture.
Resolved to make sure he escapes,
I start to see him in a new light.
He’s still breathtakingly handsome,
But more importantly, he’s changed.
Am I trapped in the pain of my youth,
Or can I let go of the past and find a new future.
