Tantrums.

By the Id

 
As dust storms and rain clouds Howling. Clashing. Proud.
Defiant winds wail with choreographed kicking and screaming
Lightning shocks iris sizzling cheek bones and dental thunder cracks.
Pressurized blood pumping. lava lamps bubbling to surface in my red chest.
Hate whines flow with oceanic power to flood your brain with my vindictive sickness.
You could have prevented this.

You could have prevented this.

“You could have prevented this.” I hiss, in viciously disguised whispers before tasting

your corpse.

I like how there's a lot of dangerous elements of thunder & lightning to express the rage, yet the work is sprinkled with words that bring to mind just how childish our angers can be, like 'hate whines...', & the title itself, of course. It usually comes down to wounded pride, doesn't it? Haha, a "don't make me hurt you, & it will be your fault if I do" kind of logic to the passions of rage. Good first post, id. Welcome aboard.

    Corpus deliciosus, get it while it's still warm maybe. Great rant and wonderful use of Mother Nature's metaphors in the opening. We are all children of hers, and she can be a mean mother, cheers and welcome to DP!
