Hidden Temper

Stuck with you.

I’m angry, my anger is coming out as physical pain.

I can't; sleep, eat, drink, speak.

Fuck it hurts.

I dropped my arm and kept writing.

Readjusting myself to get comfortable.

“ if you could call it that” as my friend Rakinya once said.

Wildfire in my soul, let the world see you shine.

Dot it, do it now!

Take a stand, I'm taking my stand by being angry and centered at the same time.

Using my writing as a creative tool to take my anger out.

I can feel my anger getting heavier and feeling hot.

Now I am bitter.

Twisted your words, twisted the opinions of everyone you know against me.

Until today.

My crazy anguish has been validated.

Thanks doc.

Then you wish me to outlive everyone I love.

That's below the belt. Too low and way too far, and you know it.

Not one drop of money will be spent on you.

You showed me who you really are and who Samiya sees.

I can’t have that in my life.

Savage.

You’ve known from the start, as once said by Arianna Grande

“ one strike and you’re out baby, don't care if I sound crazy.”

That's me.

That’s how I have to be in these situations, you know why.

But I just want to be stuck to you.

I liked you

I loved you

I love you.
