Sometimes
Sometimes I feel angry
Angry enough to yell and scream
Angry enough to hit, punch, kick, maim
Angry enough to kill
It’s not my fault I’m angry
When the tears come and I’m left alone
Alone with my thoughts
Alone with my horrid desires
Painting a picture of red
Red
My eyes are red
My fists clenched
My brain fogged
Nothing else matters except my rage
The same rage that kills
Kills any form of common sense
The rage that controls me
Controls my words and actions
Angry at the world
Angry at society
Telling me what to do, what not to do
Controlling my actions
Controlling my life
Angry at the world for not acting out
Angry at the world for not saying anything
And sometimes I’m worried
Worried for that same world
The world we call home
Home is where the heart is, they say
But I do not have a heart
None of us do
No one cares for our world’s heart
The same heart that cares for us
Bringing us life and fulfilment
The same heart that brought you into this world
I’m left alone with my thoughts
But what will I think?
Do I be angry or worried
It’s stressful to be both
Our world and our society are messed up
Sometimes I’m angry because we don’t worry enough
