Question: Is this return vengeful!?
"Wilfull Ignorance"
They preached
salvation,
condemnation!.!.!.
they never knew you!.
A soul
more pure
than they
could ever dream--
your darkness even,
shone!.
With sympathy,
they thanked me,
unafraid to show
their tears!.
They didn't
know!.
That door
they feared
you'd opened!.!.!.
I had stood
on the other side,
gave you
the key,
said,
"It's all right!."
When you opened it,
arcane opalescent radiance!.
You took my hand,
we danced!.
No,
they never knew you,
they never knew us!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

If this is vengeful, then it is certainly understandable that you should feel this way!. But, you are a compassionate and beautiful person, and I know that you will find your way through this!. Perhaps even willful ignorance is forgivable in the end!. This is meant to be validating and yet give hope!. I hope it comes across that way!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
