Anger Poem by Michelle Tolly

Another shiver of anger bursts through me.
Life is no longer fair!
It’s a brutal and cunning creature.
I feel the anger rip through me seizer after seizer.
The pain bringing back memories from long ago,
The trembling anticipation of trying to control this brutal beast,
The uncontrollable urge to tear something apart,
The feeling, the wanting to have the satisfaction,
I feel nothing but denial of who I am.
What terrible monster I truly am.
I am the epidemic of this modern world.
I am technology gone wrong.
I am the miracle of Medicine.
I cured all disease.
Now nobody dies.
Nobody except the earth beneath our very feet,
The anger bursts through,
As though it was a volcanic eruption.
I am letting loose, spreading my disease,
Of ash and fury throughout the land.
Watch out! Now somebody’s going to die.
Wanna know who?
Just wait and see!
