The best revenge is massive success,
Those words echoed in my mind,
As I stood by the window, gazing at the stars,
Thinking about the past, the betrayals, the scars.

I had given everything to that relationship,
My trust, my love, my soul,
But it all went down the drain in an instant,
Leaving me broken, shattered, and cold.

I could have drowned in self-pity,
Or let bitterness rule my heart,
But instead, I decided to use my pain,
As a fuel for a fresh start.

I threw myself into my work,
Determined to succeed,
To prove to myself and everyone else,
That I was more than what they perceived.

Days turned into weeks,
And weeks into months,
And as I poured myself into my craft,
I could feel their doubts evaporate like a fog.

My output was unmatched,
My creativity unparalleled,
And as recognition poured in,
I knew I had succeeded beyond what I ever imagined.

The same people who mocked me,
Looked at me with envy,
As I moved up the ladder of success,
With effortless agility.

My heart was still tender,
A little scared, and raw,
But the confidence that came with my wins,
Was enough to close the old doors.

The rush of success was intoxicating,
A high I had never known,
And as I continued to climb,
I was grateful that I hadn't let my pain turn me to stone.

Success was the sweetest revenge,
The most effective way to show,
That whatever someone tries to do to you,
They can never dim your inner glow.

The truth is, betrayal hurts,
It cuts deep like a knife,
But it's not the end of the story,
It can even open a door to a new life.

Whether it's in your personal life,
Or in the professional field,
The best revenge is massive success,
For your triumph will be revealed.

So if you're going through a hard time,
And feel like giving up the fight,
Remember that your strength is in your struggle,
And your victory is in plain sight.

Go ahead, take those first few steps,
And see where your passions take you,
For you never know, the best revenge,
Could be the success that lies within you.
