I wish I could get angry <br />The way other people get angry <br />I see them lash out, yell, scream, abuse <br />I see their frustrations, hurts and disappointments <br />Grow into a visible, tangible demonstration <br />I wish I could get angry <br />Instead of having this beast inside me <br />Seethe and devour within <br />It shows itself in tears, anxiety, worry <br />While all it should be doing is yelling <br />I wish I could get angry <br />Their lives carry on without worry <br />They are forgiven and still can smile <br />While my beast grows and consumes <br />And soon I am anger. <br /> <br />(9 June 2006)<br /><br />Jeff Hobbs<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/anger-18/
