bedrock

A Poem by Jay Bailey
"

anger that becomes rage that becomes bitterness

"
anger, like the best wine you've ever tasted
or like the best drug you've ever tried
this is the only vice i have ever allowed myself

a reaction to stimuli

the world around me is full of idiocy
and anger is a natural reaction

like any other drug, it will eventually kill me
i'm a lifer in this sense

everything is a joke, and a waste of time
i've tried everything to make anger manageable
tried to exile it from my life
but morons are everywhere
and i want their blood on my hands

this has never been a place
that i can thrive
this world has nothing to offer me
its been years now

just waiting for the end
the bitter, "f**k you all", pissed off end
