A Brainstorm

I want my anger In the dark of the night it protects Nourishes Provides It is useful It keeps me wary Ripe Watchful Without it I will crumble And be reduced to smallness softness sadness I need my anger It makes me a woman Feral Untamed Fierce Anger faces unflinching what Would reduce me to a girl innocent vulnerable invisible And isn't that what he wants That thing that makes him feel Hungry Forcible So I keep my anger Close to my chest Burning Expectant For the day I will let it fly Searing Straight Extinguishing at last the monster Living inside.
