Anger
I wonder
what drives you?
Rage, an unforgiving
heart
which trembles even
at the thought of “weakness”.
So much easier to wage
a war on the world
as if strangers even know
what tragedy you’ve tasted
and was it really anymore bitter
than theirs’?
I cringe at the sound
of hate, between each
word you roar in your
isolation.
Still,
I wonder what your story is,
if it bleeds more than others?
Isn’t anger an anemic suture
for your wounds?
Aren't you cold
lonely, tired
wearing this crimson cloak?

I enjoyed this. Especially how the last line tied it all together. Thank you, great read!
ReplyDeleteIt is so hard to deal with people who are continually angry. That 'crimson coat' gets tiring after a while.
ReplyDeleteanger i think drives much of what we do at times....our response to all we have let build up...and not taken care of until it blows up....
ReplyDeleteAnger can sure get in the way, crankpots can cause dismay
ReplyDeleteAnger is a strong emotion that needs to calm down...
ReplyDelete'anger' so calmly and beautifully expressed........
