Words Spoken In Anger
For Rock's EDGY Challenge!
***
where is that line
the one that protected me from
too far...
saying
feeling
going
too far
when did the words used for anger
hate
frustration
become the ones that
my ears absorb
(fuck off)
when did that become what is thought of me
when did words get teeth
gritty, bloodthirsty fangs
when did they gain the power
to break more than bones
when did they become more lethal
than sticks and stones
when did my heart first fall to its blows
anger does not soothe the tears
as they burn my cheeks
it does not comfort or erase
it can not be louder than the knowing
that I deserve the pain
the weight in accepting
it is time
to
(fuck off)
