Anger (for deverse open link 11/12/13)



 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?

  2. It is so hard to deal with people who are continually angry. That 'crimson coat' gets tiring after a while.
