ANGER

So overdone

I want to retreat into a place

where nothing will bother me again

and I can seethe until empty.

Will the world stop spinning long enough

for me to catch my breath?

For I feel so unlike myself.

All of this control I've placed

right in your hands

for you to twist me, squeeze me, mold me, 

into someone I don't recognize.

So I remove myself from reality,

Numb myself to everything,

and hold my breath 

until the world finally stills.
