Truism

How deep does my anger go?
So deep, that's it's engraved in my heart,
Intertwined in my veins
And supplement to my pain.
It acts like a fuel that
Feeds an unsatisfiable hunger
And keeps my head clear.
This anger supplies me
With an everlasting Fountain of Youth
So that my revenge may be dealt.
Now, my intentions may be deluded
But the only thing I have
Is this strong driving force.
So I reach forward,
Because you must feel my hurt,
See this stoic expression,
And hear my silence.
Though, I warn you,
I won't exact my anger in a traditional manner.
I'll smother you with kindness,
And when you begin to rely on me,
I'll unravel that metaphorical rug
Lying beneath your feet
And spin your future.
I'll cut the string of Fate.
Only then, will I forgive myself.
You've hunted me and captured
Something weaker than yourself,
But from weakest one finds strength.
There's a shard of it in everyone.
You have supplied me with
The means to steal my happiness.
So, I hope you don't misunderstand me.
My threats are never petty or empty.
My time with you, undoubtedly, has taught me
That sacrifice is superficial.
I won't give up on you.

Author's Note

This is a very raw piece for me. I decided to throw away any form of structure in this one, which I haven't done in a very long time. It certainly made this very easy to write. When I initially began this 'poem', I wrote it on paper, so a few things have been added a lot of things completely forgotten. I think this one version make more sense than the previous.

[f**k you]

Oh my. Okay. First off, I am SOOOO happy you threw structure out the window. This is by far my favorite piece you've ever written, I'm serious. Letting your emotions flow naturally always brings out the best in writers, in my opinion, because it allows you to hold nothing back, you can say exactly what you want without thinking about it and still have it expressed poetically. This is so real and beautifully angry. I like how you sort of made your anger a living thing, pinpointing it's location and then explaining what you literally do with it. Just...great. Please keep this is up!
