Is This For Real

I feel life breaking a glass, any glass Or screaming at anyone with or without cause For now, my blood and tears have no rest, Seething on a bomb of fury, anger claims a place The rage pierces through my wounds too deep… I never knew he has gone beyond the stars. My soul hemorrhaged, my innocence vandalized Please tell me this is night's cruel illusion! Midnight prayers dripping lines of candle wax I blow like a dam but only silence comes back, My damn, damn essence cries for a resting nest While he has traveled off in a land without maze, And I continue to fear this anger will never fade I drown in the reality of why… Why is Daddy suddenly dead? Contest ,Reality for Nayda Ivette Negron 5/19.2016

The expressed "anger" in this write is made all the more understood by the last line question! This brings the "sadness" into clearer focus! Felt deeply! The best to you in this contest Nette! :-)
