Anger and Nothing

Anger is all I feel nowadays.
A never ending frustration towards everything and everyone
This overwhelming feeling of needing to do things but unable to do so,
Of being unable to achieve the goals I set out to do, always one mark
 less than what I aimed for. 
A heavy weight in my chest so that I feel like I'm unable to breathe.
I want to scream, shout, punch...but I don't. I just lie in my bed 
and stare at the wall snapping at anyone who dares come near me.
I don't know why I feel this way but it's never ending, always there. 
Sometimes it's all I feel and sometimes it lies just under all the other 
feelings just waiting till
I'm alone, till I have nothing else to do. 
Than it returns stronger than before
Like a fire all consuming burning inside me till it burns everything 
away leaving me empty inside. Feeling drained and tired.
My heart hurts like it's been stomped on a million times and 
I want to fix it, reshape it but I don't know how.
You told me to let all my anger, my  hate and despair go,
 to just let it all go but yo never told me how.
So now I'm stuck with this never ending hatred burning inside 
and I'm worried one day I'll blow up like a bomb, 
hurting the people around me.
So tell me how to fix myself, to let go of all of this before 
I really do explode.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm really bad at ending poems and stories and stuff so I sorta just stopped in 
the middle of it.

I like it. It is the perfect way to describe what you are feeling, it doesn't need to be solved, wrapped up in a nice package, because emotions don't have a start and finish that is perfect. you have hit this nail on the head and everyone who reads it will know how it feels to have that nail driven harder. :) keep writing sweetie and let them words rage like a river :)

Writing can scream and writing can be solemn Talicia. When you write for a release, you must perfect your form whether it is Free Verse, Verse, Verse Drama, etc. What you write should become your memoir or something of that nature. I like your creative writing style. Writing, as an mental outlet, is perfect way to form and implement the expressive art of poetry. Continue to write Talicia! Sending a smile and a hug - Verlena.

You have expressed yourself very well. When darkness decends it feels like we will never again feel anything but pain and sorrow. It is good that you have writing as an outlet. By writing feeling on paper or screen, it demystifies them and allows you to see them more clearly. As a writer you can choose to write your own happy ending. If you have a chance look up my poem "Dark Lover".

Hello Talicia. I know how you feel. I have felt the same for the past year. It had to do with being lied to & being used & psychologically abused, but that is over now. I'm starting a new chapter in my life. So now I'm "waiting" once again....lol. I hope your "emptiness inside" is filled soon....keep writing. That's what helps me through the day.

Now this is one powerful write. To be able to express your emotions like you did was amazing. One can never resolve an issue until one can look at it squarely in the face and you have done that well. More than likely the reason you cannot end the poem is because it doesn't have an ending yet. When one comes to you, you will be be able to write it. I will be happy to read it. As happy endings are what I love to read too. Thanks for sharing. Love, Charlene
