Anger's Hungry Passion

Plastic burns.

Melts and disintegrates,

You leave my nose to despise you.

 

Anger builds.

Growing tensions in my chest

As the ashes fall around me.

 

This acid that lurks in the

Chambers of my heart is lashing at the bars

Hungry to escape, to be fed

 And destroy.

 

You corrupt my mind

Taunting and calling me.

But no!

I won’t feed you

Spoons, full of hatred, annihilation

And even then you will grow

And gnaw at my wrist

As I try hard to choke you

And starve you of this

 

You have the mouth of a shark

Tearing off my leg with one bite,

One swipe of the head.

 

You have the body of a lion

Always prepared for a good fight

You live for this.

But No!

I won’t feed you

Spoons, full of hatred, annihilation

With my breaths I’ll blow you away

The cold air shall dampen your ways

Still you linger in the air

And will not tire.

 

You have eyes that stare deep

into the roots of my thoughts

And I winch with irritation

while your wicked tears drop

 

You have nails of a wild cat

shredding curtains off my walls,

Reaching purposefully for my skin

your thirst for bloodshed

Makes me cringe

But NO!

I won’t feed you

Spoons, full of hatred,

Annihilation.

 

no.

 

But I will starve you,

Kill you and defeat you. 

Author's Note

I wrote this a couple days ago when I was angry and I was fighting to keep my anger from growing. When I write about feelings I like to protray them as if they were a person because feeling possess so much power as well as humans, and like people people they can contorl you. But only if you let them.

you pack a powerful punch with a passionate look at anger and the beast that swells in us all. well penned.

I really like this. And you're absolutely right. Feelings, especially anger, have so much power. They really can devour us if we let them. It takes a lot to learn how to control one's emotions. I really like the personification of anger. Good work.

your imagery and metaphors in this piece are amazing, you definitely portray the hungry beast of anger that we all try to starve. good job.

[Undying Glory]

wow you've really written an epic piece here. anger is truly one of our greatest enemies, yet somehow we like being angry and hurting people. i really like how you describe feelings like they're people, that's a really unique point of view in my humble opinion.
