Venom

Chagrin seeping from my pores

Uncontrolled I slam the door

Reject kindness once again

Waiting on the rage to drain

 

Begging for acceptance then

Sabotaging with a friend

Recognition was the goal

Sucking life, I'm a black hole

 

Always so analytic

Once again, a cursed critic

Lovely words hit a brick wall

A false victim as I fall

 

Why can't I simply abide

Frustration pools my inside

Skewing meanings, mal intent

Can't hold back on my dissent

 

Why can't I appreciate

Making room for useless hate

Love should fill my empty tank

Yet poison is what I drank

powerful and so very moving. I too know how it feels to deal with what seems like an endless rage after suffering many years of torture from someone I trusted and thought cared for me. drinking from the well of poison and anger only makes it worse. somehow we must learn to overcome and move past the horror of our rage before it consumes us whole.
