So many things will test your mettle.
Heart unsettled; steaming in your head—you see red.
Anger boiling to burst, but first you take a breath
You walk away; knowing if you stay you’ll shed tears
Tears of anger are different from regular tears.
Those tears are for one dear or from pain or from fear.
‘Anger-tears’ well to a swell…
Do you think you’ll explode?
Is that what you were told?
Releasing the valve may do the trick…
It’s not that you do not have a right to be angry.
Anger is like acid, it burns.
If left unchecked, you pass it and it churns.
Imagine a damaged seal, too thin
Freshness is not the only thing it won’t keep in.
That anger mounts to the top…
Will controlling your soul make it stop?
The situation comes down to you.
With all that anger, what will you do?
Vent what’s pent up…but in a good way.
In a list
Please tell me what you think

Wow, extremely deep and very touching. You ... sigh ... your words always leave me mesmerized and wanting to read more, no matter the plot.

Anger spills in fountain'd tears,
from wells deepened by the years,
flooding veins, creeking lanes
emotional river bleeding stains.
Free the beast of hell within
who cries out loud immortal sin
leaving peace re-dressed anew
known only to the bravest few
who dare perception's weakness show
facing ridicule's spurning blow
Aha! the beast escaping free
"Begone"! at last I say to thee
Now standing tall and looking 'round
too many souls left caught and drowned
Beside the soft who now stands strong
alone I stand my woes begone!
...a tear cried in release is better than a knife stabbed in anger.
Great poem and thoughts...alby

Good gosh! Your poem made me forget that you were commenting on MY poem...very powerful. I loved it. I would like it a great deal if you'd post yours. (Thanks for reading mine too, by the way - lol). Glad to see you liked it.

This is a strong piece about Anger. I like this a lot. I used to have some real bad anger issues, and I do have emotional issues that compound and make it harder to let go of anger.. Anger related to people I love/loved who have hurt me is the hardest thing to deal with right now, but when I was younger I could fall apart just from having a few minor things go wrong at any given time. This is a great perspective and you did the subject justice with this write. Thank you for this! Well done!

I'm glad that you visited here. This is an older piece (almost 2 years ago). It is one of those 'this is how life comes at me' things. I can really appreciate your feedback on this. It can be almost tempting to give in to the anger, huh? Thank you very much for sharing a part of you with us here. Thanks for this reflective comment.

Ahhh, most correct, jamam96...which is why I've written as many poems as I have for as long as I have...It's kept holes out of my walls & my china intact...
This has a jazzy beat to it, Poet...well done... Wanda
