This is ME - Take it or Leave It

Like A Rock - I Must be Hard
Like An Oak - I Must Stand Firm
Cut Quick - Like My Blade
Think Fast - Unafraid

Like a Cloud - I am Soft
Like Bamboo - I Bend in the Wind
Creeping Slow - I'm at Peace
Because I Know
It's Okay to Be Afraid

Anger

i close my eyes
unable to understand
consumes me. blinds me.

i inhale deeply
caresses the pain
building up. in flames.

i resist closure
ignores the need for control
scattering. corrupt.

i yell silently
daring to listen
to surrender. in anger.
