Unimaginable Disaster

crashing anger
crushing worries
growing
gaining more life
increasing in weight
and pressure
making it harder for me to breathe
anger 
rolling through my blood
the heat erupting through every pore
every cell in my body wanting to scream
my eyes tear
my head explodes with hatred
my heart working double time
just to keep myself together
why do you do this to me?
this anger is killing me
cant keep myself together
breaking
diaster beyond imagination
new creations
causing new threats
to my sanity
breaking
i blast music
and write
letting the words of others
and myself
be the medicine
but still ill be
breaking

I like your power. It feels almost channeled in a way from your mind onto the page. I hope writing about it made it slightly better. In my experience at least you know what kind of angry thoughts are bubbling in your head, they can now be on a page instead and random people like me can get the sense that somewhere off in the world a bomb has gone off. That's the kind of power I'm talking about.
