A Walk In Anger

This path, lined by brown and green, stretches ahead of me Such distance to my eyes, so far to make the end My legs they move yet it seems no progress Like a stagnant moment in my journey, my heart is pulled But I cannot get there, it seems so long, so unfair Circumstance, not of mine, like quicksand, it holds me My body bound by this, I cannot fight, just feelings All of this is inside me now, as I tread this path, a distraction Head up I stride, purpose in my steps, determined to pretend This will not change my life, I will not beg defeat, I will win But for now, I am caught, held by others, waiting my moment And until this time, as a way to distract I took a walk in anger 2021

Anger is so hard to express, and you did it so well in this poem. Yes, walking away is often the best way out of a vicious circle of bitter anger. Welcome to Poetry Soup!
