Today I am Angry

Today I am angry

And I don't know why 

One minute I was smiling and laughing 

And then you crept into my life

You made me shut myself away from the ones I love

And the first couple times you invaded my life

I thought that it would be alright

But I've come to realize that it in fact is not 

You caused me to isolate myself

And for that so many memories have evaded me

You've become my only companion 

And I'm afraid that if I let you go then I'll be left with nothing 

You are the only feeling I have left within me

You have already branded yourself onto my heart

Today I am angry

And I don't know why 

But what I do know is that you'll most likely never leave my heart 

I thought that I would be alright

But for some reason you suck all of the oxygen from my lungs

Feeding off my energy until I'm just left   numb

And Alone

But most importantly

Angry

Today I am angry  

And I don't know why

But now I know that you'll never leave my life

And now that I have finished this poem

I think that I'm content with that

There really is only that person who can create such emotions in you, but there is one far more important who can subside such things in your life, and thats you. You can create everything you need to push anger into the volcano it seeks and let it errupt all on its own on a lonely island. Today you have learned to live.

Personally, I associate with anger more than any of the other emotions that accompany depression or anxiety. Anger has kept me alive and afloat when circumstances and people would just soon I drowned. But...I always know why I'm mad, and I think the narrator does too. I liked this a lot.

Anger can makes us unsociable and suck the life out of us. It drains our energy and your poem points all these issues out. Makes me wonder what has cause the narrator in this piece to be so angry

Anger can come from a number of different ways but as ironic as it is you can say I was just angry at anger. I'm glad you enjoyed this piece

[Poetic Beauty]

I did. I think this is a piece everyone can relate to and will have a different perspective.
