Anger Consumes

Labels and judgments, oh so crude,
A fire in my belly begins to brood,
You scream and curse, no filter in sight,
Your anger consumes you, day and night.

Your words ignite like flames uncontrolled,
A wildfire spreading, leaving hearts so cold,
You see only darkness, no light to behold,
Your rage is a beast, untamed and bold.

But listen closely, if only you would,
Treat others kindly, if only you could,
We're all messed up, that much is true,
But we can learn, to love and to value
