my anger consumes me…
i’m frustrated, irritated, not sure how to communicate it
i know you noticed the change in my body language and tone,
a clear message that tells you to leave me alone
this is a watered-down expression of this intense emotion, it goes deeper, vast, wide just like an ocean
like a lighter my flame flickers
i’m easily triggered, just by the push of a button
i regret the way i act, then i feel bad, then i feel sad
this constant cycle of wrath
i walk away, cool down, find a new perspective
i said what i said, but i don’t think i meant it
i hate to be defensive,
but if i don’t speak up then my feelings are neglected,
and then there’s this built-up resentment
how is it that i was mad at you, and then now you’re mad at me?
this is why i never speak, and i don’t know how to fix it,
someone tell me how to fix this?
my anger… consumes me
