A Letter To My Old Strength

A letter to how I used to deal with my problems, again only a few people will really know what I'm on about.

Dear Anger,

I know you came to me when I needed you most,

When all seemed lost you came to me,

Empowered me,

Fought off those who meant to harm me.

But then you turned on me,

You turned me into something malicious,

Hurting those who had done no wrong,

Turned my friends away from me.

Maybe not physically,

But emotionally you almost destroyed them,

Not to mention me,

You isolated me and put me towards the grave.

If it weren't for the few who stuck around,

You would have won,

They stopped me though,

They stopped you.

I got saved from your allure,

At the expense of an image,

I was saved,

They saved me not you.

Even months after stopping you,

I still feel you there,

The raw power of hatred,

The ability to incapacitate anyone who gets in my way.

But also the fear,

The fear in my enemies eyes,

In my friends eyes,

In my heart.

So because of that,

I'll never look to you again,

Whilst those I love have my back I don't need you,

For they are my strength.

Yours,

   Someone No Longer In Need Of Help

I really like this, it's so powerful, and even though you say only a few people will really know what you mean, I can relate to it. A great write, thanks for the RR (:
