Getting Someone Angry Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Stranded in feelings of hopelessness, being tossed
about like flotsam upon ocean waves, knowing not
where to turn, diving below, trying to lose self in
the ocean's turbulent undertow.

Hoping to never resurface this side of life again,
complications arising from just trying to help
someone come to a conclusion in their own mind,
without hurting the one they love.

Difficult climbing, getting them angry to help sort
out the things that have been left unsaid between
them.

Their mind now combing through all that was spoken,
quietly, and ever so gently, slowly beginning to
move forward.

Having let go of some anger that had been caught
and held in from loss and grief.
