It swells up inside me,
like an ugly monster.
spreading through my body,
like a horrible disease.
Wanting to control me...
and I let it.
Anger.
It lives within me,
like a nasty parasite.
It reaches for my heart,
and latches on;
like a selfish leech.
Sucking out my life, and energy,
yet...I let it.
Anger.
It steals my happiness,
like a thief in the night.
It takes revenge,
as if it were it's own.
It makes me sick,
like an unhealthy food.
It keeps me "satisfied",
like an illegal drug.
It does all these things, yet I let it take control;
Instead of letting it all go,
and finally feeling peace in my soul.
