Anger


There is only so much a person can take

 

Anger is a dangerous emotion

 

She rants and rages

 

I sit there in silence cause I don't have an answer

 

I don't have anything to say

 

Because what if it is the wrong thing

 

I stare straight ahead and beg her in 

 

my mind to stop talking

 

She turns the anger on me

 

Disrespect

Stonewall

Cold shoulder

 

I'm going to do it to you too

 

She says all this with anger

 

Anger is what fills my life

 

I get angry so easy and often

 

If you happen to cross me

 

I spit venomous words or hurt you

 

A massive volcano built up for years

 

Suddenly takes a spill

 

I regret it shortly after

 

But some things are hard to forgive over the years of repetitiveness

 

I don't know how to stop

 

I don't know to make her happy

 

I don't know how to make me happy

 

I wish they wouldn't fight

 

Because...

 

Sometimes...

 

I'm afraid it will be the death of me
