Shadows of the heart
Stories of long forgotten moments
Lifetimes of sadness
Anger rises
Pushing up and out
Not wanting to be the hidden
Needing to come out
How do you feel
Angry as shit
Wanting to rip off heads and throw them out
Needing space
Don't tell me you care
No one cares at all
No one can understand
No words can be said to quieten the anger and rage
Don't tell me you're holding me
That will suffocate my being and drive the rage
Nothing will hold these waves of rage
So much force behind the swells that last for days
Let it out
Let it out
I want to feel at peace
But peace does not come
Anger and rage rule wanting to create upsets
You deliberately disagree
With anyone you see
Come near me
Speak to me if you dare
The cycle continues day and night
Unrelenting
Out of sight
Staying hidden is the only way
Living on the fringe
Out of sight and away
Then the storm passes
The sadness begins
Why does this happen?
The exhaustion begins
Feeling tired
Alone
Not wanting to poison anyone with your words
Distrusting of all
You breathe and sigh
Let it go
Let it fall
The storm has passed
The raging swell now a sea of calm glass
Another cycle
Another story unravelled
An old wound released
This is the way it happens
It flows up bubbling into a raging storm]with currents that electrify
Anyone around
If you feel these storms rising
Be kind to yourself
Let it surface and fall
Write it out
Paint or move
Scream into a pillow
Rage at the open sky
Throw it into the ocean waves
Burn it down in a pyre of words
Be destructively constructive
It will help soothe the rising storm
