Anger is an acid that
can do more harm to the vessel
In which it is stored
than to anything on which it is poured.

Everyone witnesses your destruction,
When you're tearing yourself apart
and trying to heal.

You're intimidating and brooding,
People see the smoldering flames
and the raging winds.

Fury and exasperation.
Hold it in your heart and they will eat at your walls,
And spill out the guts of the lives of people you love.
