Anger

Quietly Without warning It starts to rise Like a ghost It seeks your demise In chest Of peaceful being It starts to boil Sending her Over the edge Onto dry soil Like dagger through Lung Unease is sung By overthought Whispers In brutal mind The truth unwinds No sense can be made No words can be said Only the red That rises again Like bull in the ring Charging every moving thing Being mocked For its confusion By onlookers That don't see Terror of not knowing What lies beyond The red drapes looming Violently fighting Mocking song The dagger is turned While within Being set off This unease again Tears dwell not far off Waiting for final walk Ending down the wharf Silently they whisper Knowing she is reaching end Their mouths move quick Unable To understand Silver fork-tongued devils in for the kill Calling the command When she looks up Ferocity is clear In murky blue eyes Where peace no longer dwells Sombrely replaced by Quick paced fear Knowing Awaiting Final deafening shot Finally to be set off Click bang She bolts Not knowing where to go Like animal in blind panic Lashing Biting Aggression manic Crazy confusion clanging down Like chains of slave bound Untrusting of any truce She cowers in a corner Nothing seems to soothe the anger so violent So bottled up within now bursting Destroying what once was A peaceful being Ruined at last
