Anger War

Anger War

A Poem by Joey Martinez

The anger is spreading, taking over at will
Happiness puts up a fight, but doesn't go for the kill
I'm in a mental battle, locked and loaded
But I can feel the grenade of anger has just exploded 
The mirror portrays a man being possessed 
Hoping to put these demons to rest
I can feel my soul being pulled away
Soon to be a lifeless body, ready to decay 
Open hands turn to fists
Ignorance romances with bliss
I won the battle but not the war
Because the anger in me has me wanting more
More regrets, more devastating moves
Gasping for air while choking on angers fumes
I try to change, looking for anyway out
Trying to plant the seed of happiness, hoping it will sprout 
I'm becoming disgusted with the man the mirror reflects
People offer to help but I choose to neglect
This battle involves three people, me, myself, and I
And don't try to interfere, you might die
Its time to fight fire with fire 
Time to choose whats right over desire
I can't act off this anger, I can't let it control
I can't let it keep digging me in this unescapable hole
I know I can win, the good in me will never fall
Anger can knock me down but I'll still crawl
I will find my escape
Before its too late
