turn the other cheek?

I am beyond anger
I am incandescent
at the world, at 'friends', at you.

I want to hear bones crunch,
see eyes pop like frogs under a boot
and blood spurt, crimson and steaming.

I want crying; not just crying, but bitter tears,
souls torn asunder, bereft and adrift,
others to hurt as I do, if that is even possible.

I've put up with snide comments, putdowns,
rejections and lies; turned the other cheek,
thinking Karma would redress the balance...

But there is no balance, no cosmic fulcrum,
there is just blind, pitiless, malevolence,
grinding me underfoot with a stiletto,

until I snap and take my revenge.
Will I hurt you, or just myself?
Do I even care, or do I just want out?

Out of the human race, running to get nowhere
trying so hard to so little effect, a bubble of alone
in an ocean of relationships; or shall I just get the TV fixed?
