Anger is a Poison

By Kayla Joyce

Did anyone care?

Was a thought spared?

Was I little more than a broken object?

Who protected me?

NOBODY!

It's like a needle in my neck

Filled with poison spreading through my veins

Sadness, fear, misgivings, pain, and helplessness

Then anger starts to take over

I WILL NOT BE CONTROLLED!

Who can I blame?

I'm cracking under pressure

They who thought so little of the damage they inflicted

Why didn't they just kill me then?

GOD SAVE ME!

Was it they?

They who wanted to unwind me

Is it possible to love with a touch of resentment?

SOMETHING WENT TERRIBLY WRONG!

Who can I take it out on?

They whom I still love despite it all

Those whom I don't even know

NO I CAN'T!

Hurting them would be hurting me

What would it prove?

NOTHING!

A wise man said to me

Anger is only our friend when we know its caliber and how to aim it

If you use it like a grenade you will only blow off your own hands.

GOD HELP ME I AM TICKED OFF!
