I hold my anger close to me
I wrap it tight around
And if I hold it close enough
My hurt will not be found

The tears won’t fall; my heart won’t break
And no one will know my pain
Cause no one knows how much I hurt
No one can understand

My eyes may burn, but not one tear
Will I allow to fall,
For it’s far better to be angry
Than it is to bawl

You may say that it is folly
Or simply foolish pride
But I know what it really is
A place for me to hide

Someday soon I’ll let it out
God will hear me pray
Of the anger, hurt, and fear,
So it may go away

Write about it.....it is sometimes easier
to express feelings on paper than to let
them come out of our mouths.....paper is
more forgiving....Your poem says a lot...
and...believe it or not...it is a start.

let it out!! cry!! scream!! YELL!! (go out to the mountains or something .... do NOT do this at the mall... they might carry you away  ), but anyway... hehe.... pent up anger is very dangerous for your health.....

writing it's good.... crying is better...  

hey, that's why they call us "humans" right?

Lisa, yes, oh yes, pent up anger either turns into depression or rage...or both....well written and keep writing
