Dis-Ease

She passes through the world
with an air of contempt about her

an anger, a raw cancer
consuming all she says and does

She cannot feel the love
around her, or inside of her

In a vast womb of want
the anger grows steadily
like a tumor

Very descriptive of one who has emotional build up for one reason or another. Keep writing. Sara
