Anger

Like a cancer in your mind Whispering in your year. Anger boils inside Poisoning your mind. Emotions in over drive What if’s, fill your mind. speech bubbles, coloured red your tongue sharpened Words barbed with angst waiting to spill from your lips heavy with sarcasm hateful and biting words ready to cut to the bone just a wave of hurtful bile words that will leave a bitter taste and sound like a banshee’s death cries remember , Decisions made in anger Can never be undone damaging your karma and branding your soul don’t release the beast that’s pulling on your chain as angers an emotion that best left, well alone.
