Angry Alice
Anger becomes a drug
Becomes a fix
An addiction
Anger is easy to eat
Slides down your throat
Melts on your tongue like butter
Sits in your stomach like glass
Anger is cold
Like ice
Or like liquid nitrogen
Looks cold until it burns
Anger is hard to fight
Easy to hit
Hard to bruise
Anger is a friend of mine
A best friend if you will
Nothing stands between me and my anger
I buy her clothes and dress her pretty
I feed her crooked smiles and rubber bands
I let her lay in my bed
And go to my parties
And sometimes, I let her talk to my mother
And sometimes, I let her talk to me
And I let her live her life
Like any good person would
Or bad person would
I have a friend
Her name is Malice
Like Alice;
But Angry.
