Explosive
This word has been applied to me
for as long as i can remember
usually following
short periods of time
that I do not remember

Maybe it was unfair
of me
to expect you
to disarm
what you had no hand in creating

But if you had just wrapped your presence around me
I know it would have dampened
my unpredictability
long enough for you to reach in
and discover
Why. I. Am. So. Angry.

But you didn't
so I still place my feet with care
my hands even more so
