Rage Poem by Elisha De La Rosa

Rage drives my mind
Other feelings are pushed to the side
For this heart, will be confined
Other thoughts will be tangled in vines

Memories added fuel to the fire
Anger is what my heart is pumping
For it, I do what it desires
Rage is what my mind is drumming

Hidden for so long
To get rid of it
I have to take myself along
The path rage have driven

My eyes flare
And assualts
At someone who stares
Is this all my fault?

This drives me mad
Containing it and caging it within me
Depression is the leading cause, this is bad
Rage unleash itself, for it'll take the lead

For he might bury me
Under all these memories
He wanted me to see
What was fueling me

Anger is what I kept through
Inside my heart
These burdens I have carried
Rage I must set apart

Uncontrollable
He is my darker-half
But I am forgettable
Rage is all that is left

To disect him
Away from my mind
Is impossible
Because he is my other side
