Storm To Shadow the Rain

I have been angry at the world these days
I think I have just been flustered at my own sins,
so much I have  been storming on the earth. 

I have been cursing at race for existing
been complaining at critics,
been cursing homophobia
been crying over body judging people. 
 
I am full of anger, some of it is funny
I am angry at slow network, 
at authors who killed my favorite character 
at trees that don't have shades, 
at the air fill bags of chips in my house, 
at celebrities for not giving me a shout out, 
at people who never liked me back. 

just been angry, 
that's the only feeling I can ignite and subside, 
I can use diversity to calm down, 
use positive criticism to relax, 
use open minded people to sleep well
or just a comedy to laugh. 

but I still choose to be angry, 
to be storm and thunder, '
because if I stop being angry, 
I'll just be rain
and I have no control over that.

Anger is the go-to cover up for sorrow, . You have expressed this well.
