Anger


I’ve found inspiration in the lows more than the highs

I’ve found the desire to push forward when pushed back

I suppose inspiration is usually found in more light subjects, such as reading or music

But nothing has lit my fire more than those who try to put it out

I find courage in those who try to belittle me

I find inspiration in the salty tears that stream down my cheek

And my clenched fists holding back a quick punch

With so much injustice polluting this world

I find inspiration in every corner
