Anger
Describe vividly how you feel the emotion 'Anger'. Does it spread like wildfire in your body or does it start with the slow increase of your heartbeat. Does it urge you to create chaos or do you push your demon down back into its cage. I'd like to read all responses :)

Maybe Then.

Maybe if you cried so hard

your tears turned into acid.

Burned your face,

and left deep scars-

Maybe I’d forgive you.

You found me on that bridge

a note tucked in the ground.

But you gave me a rock

said the earth could be

not an ending but a start.

Maybe if you punched a wall

and your bones

like glass, they shattered

seeing them on the floor-

Maybe I’d forgive you.

I loved your warmth,

came down from that ledge

but then you said goodbye.

I threw that stone back at you

and just like you it vanished.

So maybe if you came to me

and told me that you hurt.

With cut up wrists

and a bloodshot soul-

Maybe I’d forgive you.
