Perception transmutes
Subtle gray to Violent Red
Shades of Red
Retreating within the barriers of my Mind

Light is eclipsed by
Shades of My Anger
Festering Fury builds
Withdrawing from the world

Shunning My Surrounding
Awaiting an Appointed hour,
Retribution will be strewn with swift coldness
blood seething through my veins

Sweetly Anticipating
the day of Retribution
Shades of My Anger increase
Consuming every waking thought


The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, not the kindly smile, not the joy of companionship; it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when he discovers that someone believes in him and is willing to trust him with his friendship."

--Ralph Waldo Emerson

I understand this poem, as you describe those angry feelings well. I know for a fact that anger isolates and ends up hurting ourself more than the source of our angry. It is lonely in the shade.
