For Maddie:
I wrote this one last year at the beginning. I think it was a little after my family realized that my grandpa had been dead for a whole year and I was still a bit bitter about events that had transpired the summer before.
“Anger”
Anger, is an entity that feeds
off our hate, our despair, and our misery.
It lives off of us like a parasite
slowly draining its host of life.
Anger…it is a ghost from
our past that we never let die.
It is like a candle we lit
long ago; ever so slowly burning
away our essence.
Anger. It is a creature that
hounds us until we can no longer
go on. It tears at us when we
are weak, and attack us when
we are at our lowest.
Anger! It becomes and consumes
us. It is the point of no return
when we cross the line of self-
discipline into self-hate. When the anger in side us
is left unchecked, we become
beasts. Our rage and hate, our
corruption and our jealousy, coalesce
to destroy our feelings of joy
and happiness, and o’er throw our
innocence. Then as our evil veil of
kindness falls and all our hope
is lost, we become that which
we despise.
The anger that burns and pulses within
us is not unstoppable. At the times
when our anger is at its peak and we
feel that we can no longer continue
it is then that we must remember.
We must remember our friends and our
family. And as the razor raises to our
wrists, or the noose tightens around our
necks. We must remember someone is
there to help us; there to pull those razors
away and cut down those ropes. And
when she comes embrace her and her
help; for the flames of anger, rage, hatred, and
sorrow cannot be extinguished alone.
That brought back some pretty good memories. I feel all tingly ^_^ yay!
