Rage

 

 

I can't stop this!
            It won't go away

            Nagging

            Pulling

Shaking with anger

            Fists tightly clenched

            Feverish

            Overwhelming

It wraps around me

            Images so vivid

            Lifelike

            Real

The blood is boiling

            Seeing red

            Anger

            Trembling

Image play over and over

            One after another

            Realistic

            Enraging

White-hot blinding rage

            Dredging up the past

            Reliving

            Feeling

Wants to lash out

            Make THEM hurt

            Understand

            Empathize

Glaring their way

            Mouth shut

            Breath

            Quake

Tries to keep control

            A battle rages

            Wants

            No

Count to ten slowly

            Teeth grinding

            Panting

            Sweating

All the hurt, lies and pain

            Flashing quickly by

            Goosebumps

            Flushed

Needs to walk away

            Rooted there

            Unable

            Unwilling

Shuts eyes and breaths deep

            Internally screaming loudly

            Seething

            Hot

 

Body taut as a wire

            Quivering with rage

            Shaking

            Flushed

Turns and walks away

            Grinding teeth

            Red

            Growling
