Anger: A Poem by Aketzalli G.

The fire that burns in you
That grows every time someone pisses you off
Making you think to do something wrong
To think twice if you should kill
Or turn crazy and beat someone ‘til the sight of blood appears
To try and calm that fire in you
Trying to hold the sobs of fury for you can’t do anything to stop the rage
The beast not even I can tame
To hold in the screams of threat and mean in
So hard to not cry in eyes view
Trying hard not to hurt yourself
Having that anger win
And get you in trouble
Mess you up
Or grow hatred in you
Turn you into that beast that’s too savage to calm
And hurt who don’t deserve to be hurt
That anger that gets too much to handle
How others react when you get mad
To scare others in helping you
Escape the anger
And be who you were moments ago
Trying hard to not remember the cause
Remembering who you were when you were angry
To return in you again
Doing something you’ll regret
Because of that anger
You don’t know what you’ll expect next.
