Anger

What drives you to do something That you will regret For the rest of your life Well here's a hint Revenge But what causes revenge Hatred What is hatred You feel hatred Is it your fault That you feel this way When you feel those feelings Your mind goes blank But What causes all these feeling That's anger Because of anger You do something you don't mean Can you control it No Anger is an emotion which is hard to control Anger can easily control you But when you get angry Beware When you get angry You might do something That will haunt you for the rest of your life

For me the more 'soul searching' I do the more I find myself angry. I probably spend 80% of my day feeling angry about something, somebody, some circumstance that I can't control. If anything I learned how often anger intrudes on my being, which is pretty much whenever I'm convinced the world owes me something. That sense of entitlement alone haunts me worse then anything I can actually do to someone. Thank you for writing a dark poem about a very dark emotion. I'm a fan of this type of work.
