Stronger: Vol. #4

My Anger

As those words leave your mouth

The word that start it all

Or rather

Restart it all-

"Can you just- go away?"

I feel nothing

No pain, hurt

No anger

But I soon thaw

Slowly, emotions trickle in

And I can't believe

You did it again

Can't belive you only noticed

Because of one person

Then again

I can't believe you try to break me now

You never tried before

But there you go

Scurrying up to me

Intent on one thing

My anger dissapating

I watched you try before

Saw you plead with others

To no avail

Yet I know when you perch beside me

I will crack

I know despite my anger

My hurt

My desire to show you I will not tolerate it this time

Your words will get under my skin

My anger will be pushed back

Because I can't stand this divide

I know the only way to succeeed is in silence

And I know, despite my nature of listening

Words will unwillingly tumble out

Strange, isn't it?

You so easily persuade me

And I so easily draw on your emotions

But is it so strange?

So many could persuade me if they tried

And I am not the only one

Who can call upon emotions

You try so hard not to show

Maybe we are all kidding ourselves a little

Or maybe I just feel not so extra-special

As you want me to believe

Knowing my rage is short

I do all I can

To make you see my anger

Because, when you turn to me

My hurt shall linger longest
