my anger...

By the broken

breath in ...

breath out...

breath in...

breath out...

that's what they tell me to do

everytime the gun in my brain went off

everytime the urges came

it was always the same

breath in....

breath out....

breath in....

breath out....

or they tell me

to close my eyes and count to three

tried in a fight once

...then the other guy just punched the fuck outta me

1

2

3

.

.

.

.

my anger never leaves

just buys its time

to be release later

in a some what twisted rhyme

  • A former member wrote: I'll have to admit, Friend, this Speaks a lot to me. Oftentimes Anger is all that I know.....Well, there's also FRUSTRATION. Especially when the one that I love does not love me back. Good Insight!

  • A former member wrote: It's what I do all the time. My anger is all trapped inside. One day, I'll break. I know I will. Let's hope that day will be far away though. I loved the wording, although spelling and grammar were a little out there, but for the rest, I loved it. It's not one of those over-complicated poems with tons of description. It's simple. The pauses you put between "breathe in" and "breathe out" and "1, 2, 3" also lets the reader understand how much patience is needed to control oneself. Very nice work.
