Broken Fury

pain hiding behind anger...a protective mechanism built inside all of us

Anger, Fury, Defiance
Defeat without compliance
Red
Crimson
Scarlet
Blurred vision behind unseeing eyes
Balled up fists, no compromise
Bang
Slam
Clatter
Physical Damage
Emotions left unmanaged
Tears
Tears
And more tears
Shed yesterday, today and tomorrow
Shed for a lifetime
Shed over and over for years
Broken
Cracked
Shattered
Heart in pieces, irreparable
Painful ache left unbearable
Sleep
Sleep
Fitful sleep
 Bring me peace

I like this one. It shows the dark but natural side to a typical human. The sixth to last line it should be 'unrepairable' instead of irreparable.... unless it actually is a word, i have no idea. Anyways, a tip of advice from personal experience. It helps the reader if the font is bigger. I usually do mine around 4, it prevents them from squinting their eyes and getting headaches. Other than that I loved this poem :)

Pretty mad, still in the anger stage, and can't get over it.
At least you are past denial...next comes guilt, sadness and acceptance.
This poem covers the anger stage very well..now lets see poems about the other stages of healing..
I did enjoy this one

The rhyming worked well and did not take away from the overall feel. A wonderful look at frustration, the emotion was front and center and the last lines speak of the only natural defense....loved it.

Nice read, the feeling of hurt, anger, and restlesness....very well put together, and a joy to read!
