rage

I am choked by an anchorless, predatory rage. 
I desperately crave a single throat to wring - 
a solitary architect of this misery to tear apart while screaming 'Why?' into the dirt. 

But there is no culprit to summon. 
So, the violence turns inward. 
I smash things, I bleed, I shatter my own reflection,
only to watch the dust settle and realize the most sickening truth of all: 

I have become the flawless mirror image of the very cruel, 
wrathful, 
angry monsters who broke me.
