This is very powerfully worded. The effect is dark and I know where it's coming from. Underlying all of it is a hopeless kind of love. It can consume and destroy. More the one who feels this rage. Ewww. Meanwhile, I'll warn her to run for cover ;)
On a more serious note, David, I've felt extreme anger and held on to my hatred for long periods. It is only recently that I realized that they who couldn't give me what I expected of them was because they just didn't have it in them to give what I expected from them. They didn't receive it from others so they couldn't give it to others. That's helping me to let go.

On your more serious note, that's really good advice. Dissapointments of that nature need to be released. Holding onto them, for whatever reason, is generally good for nobody.
This is chilling. Well worded David Of The Demers.

I've been trying to be more positive lately but every once in a while something triggers what's left of the severely negative parts of my personality. There's things that I don't think I can ever truly let go of, and I'm not sure that's such a bad thing... as long as I don't let it consume me they can be used for good things I think.
to feel this - to feel it to the core - intense - to have nothing in life but to know this kind of vengeance - this kind of rage - contained in one body and needing to be unleashed - this is an emotion we are told to contain - keep it in a bottle for it’s no way to behave - but says who?
i like this because emotions are supposed to be explored - now I didn’t say anyone should get hurt, but definitely worth exploring every nook, cranny and crevasse - if for nothing more but to look back and reflect on it when all is said and done, it is worthy avenue worth exploring ... nice nice nice X

Certain emotions, especially the taboo or unpopular ones, do so much more damage when they are kept inside hidden away. Even if you truly believe you can keep it internalized without adverse effects there almost always comes a time when the pain resurfaces. Being expressive with that on your own terms before it comes out uncontrolled is never a bad decision. In my opinion anyway. Some people are legitimate psychopaths though, maybe it's best for those kinds to keep that s**t buried. If the manifestation of those feelings is something that will harm others emotionally or physically, yeah, they should just start doing lots of drugs and stay away from other human beings.
I'm glad I didn't come off too tyrannical sounding. Or maybe I did, whatever... I felt significantly better afterwards. Whatever perception I gave off is of little concern to me in respect to that.
We are all influenced by our own experiences, where we have been, whom we have met and how we were treated. If we have suffered at the hands of brutality and extreme cruelty, who knows how we would react? Turn the other cheek? I think not. I didn't watch the video, because you know what I am like with violence, and Battle Cry, well that spoke violence to me. And I haven't even had a cup of tea yet. Your, no one can save you now/ no one can save me now/ no one can save us now, reminded me of how I learned latin at school. Amo, amas, amat. Yes that's where it took me. I love, you love, he loves. How weird is that?

It's funny you mentioned the latin thing, I was thinking of 'veni, vidi, vici' as a format. Not exactly the same but the idea is still there. Nobody learns latin anymore... especially here in the states... I'm glad that struck a familiar chord with someone.
