Backstabbed, I'm angry
and confused
by ur lack of loyalty.
My mind refused
to see the light,
despite the fact its bright
luminace
stared me in the face.
I can't comprehend
how a true friend could turn double-face
and bend
so much truth int lies,
lies that buzz around
like annoying little fruit flies.
Now, at the mere sound,
when u speak,
I feel rage bubble over,
reach its peak.
All this anger
and no use 4 it,
cuz I know it takes a better man
to not show it.

The emotions you worked into this piece were quite strong. I think, however, that you could add to their strength by giving this poem a little more orginization. I liked the one-worded lines, they give you a pause to think about what you're saying, and, I thought in this case it made it all the stronger. Good write, keep 'em comin!

It's really hard not to show anger I know personally.But this is a very emotional piece I like it.

Oh man!! This is fantastic!!I could relate to this completely. A better person doesn't show their anger, you're right 100%. But a smart person gets even eventually.

Wow..thanks for sharing this. I love it.

"All this anger

How true is that?!  But... then again, it's not good to bottle up the anger either.  Writing about it is always a good thing!     This is well written piece and one that I know I can sure relate to!  Well done.

If there's one thing I've learned, it's that the most frustrated people in the world are those who know they're stupid, but keep trying anyway.

It's never wrong to show your true feelings of anger
As long as you don't act stupidly about it you'll be fine
I believe I know where you're coming from
Trust is so hard to build but so easy to destroy
thanks for sharing
