Anger

Whenever I could help it, 
I'd switch my world off. 
Burrow under the covers 
and refuse to admit 
that I knew that I'd rather 
not wake up at all, 
than face every day 
where everything is my fault. 

And you knew that I left 
my whole world behind me, 
and traded my safety 
for every dream that you gave me. 

Still, you did all you could, 
to take all I had left. 
To empty, and exhaust, 
and discarded the rest. 

And I'm still so 
angry. 
No one lets me be 
angry. 

And when I found out that 
I wasn't growing at all, 
and wanted to leave 
Before my hope was too small, 
you did all that you could 
to take all I had left, 
and battered, and shattered, 
and poisoned the rest. 

And I'm still so 
angry. 
No one lets me be 
angry. 

Scared if I never let go 
then I won't ever know 
how to feel anything more, 
how to breathe like before, 
because I'm still so 
angry. 

No one lets me be angry. 
What if I'm always this angry? 

I'm still so angry.  

'Anger' - for K&Z.
