Shamed Emotion

What is angered emotion 
that runs so strong
It can take magnificence 
and destroy with one storm
It is the unseen force of power 
that swells from within to erupt 
and not cower
No shackles to break or bars to remove
It simply bursts forth without any reprove
It sets on a mission to ultimately release 
a darkness inside that can not find peace
It builds its strength on building 
insecurities
Desiring to shed its darkened 
impurities
Anger gains power in the shadow of light
It can only creep and prey 
during the darkness of night 
It’s the light that weakens it’s wicked flame
It’s the light that reveals 
its impending shame...
