anger
[I've never been one for screaming. But when something hurts deeply, I chastise for hours -- albeit at a normal volume.]
These instincts betray me. The good nature I try to uphold Is no match for the malice set free. My vengefulness can't be controlled.
I do try to be peaceful, Live and let live. But when I'm dealt a grave blow, an earful Of heartbreak and rage I'll give.
It's reactionary when I'm severely aggravated. My good will is incinerated In a fraction of the time it was cultivated. All thoughts become unmoderated.
I don't like hate. It's kind of absurd, How it's destructive and obliterates My entire person in a flurry of quiet words.
Of course, it's not easily provoked. The beast hibernates indefinitely. I dread the instances when it's evoked; It's hideous inordinately.

I'm a very busy physics major who writes "poetry" sometimes. I'm really into dadaism and the artistic revolution of the 1960s, and, cringey though it may sound, I think there should be a revival of that movement, which may be why I stick around here sometimes. It may be worth mentioning that I'm an atheist; I appreciate your religious sentiment, but all you'll get back from me is humanly good will.
