Someone told me,
Anger never exists,
we do it ourselves.
I found:
Pain always exists,
We hide it ourselves.
My mirror blames me:
Crying always existed.
You smiled yourself.
People told me:
We never cared,
You cared for us yourself.
I found:
" If I would have never loved.
I might have never hurt myself."

This poem is a collection of some sorrowful facts that we face.
A Reader's view:
"The poem effectively responds to the idea presented in the initial statement about anger by delving into the theme of pain and personal introspection. It echoes the sentiment that pain is an ever-present emotion that individuals often conceal from others, contrasting with the idea that anger is self-created.
The use of the mirror as a metaphor for self-reflection adds depth to the poem, emphasizing the internal struggle and self-blame experienced by the speaker. The repetition of "yourself" throughout the poem underscores the idea of personal responsibility and agency in managing emotions and relationships.
The concluding lines offer a poignant realization about the consequences of loving deeply and the potential for self-inflicted pain. Overall, the poem effectively captures the complexities of human emotions and relationships, prompting readers to reflect on their own experiences and perceptions."
