sometimes it drives and drives you
like a jackhammer to the soul
and-and you get sick of it
ya don't want no more
walk down the street
steaming seeping seething
anger
waiting for someone to cross ya
so you can spit in their face and
hope the hate in your stomach burns out their eyes
blues are greys
yellows and oranges and reds-all black
the street a battlefield
all humans your enemies
yeah, when that's life
your heart is dead
bruised derided cursed defiled
by thew powers that be-society
and all it's minions
It scares me
'cause every once in a while
that crap happens to me
the want to fight and hate
-and when i've had enough-
to fight and hate some more
so i figure...part of my heart must be dead
and all i can do is is well
to look for a necromancer CPR a doc w/ adrenaline
something anything- hoping it ain't too late
'cause the heart has to live

I have lived like this. It came about as a means of self defense in times of great stress and internal rage. I never unleashed it on anyone. I always figured if I did I would only feel guilty later. I tried to let if fuel positive action....a tricky thing. I don't think my heart is or was dead, but it was certainly in a stranglehold. I liked the poem. It was honest.

You make this very real. I am sure there are people who go through times when they hate the world. If they could only see that it is not the world but something within themselves. Good job. Joyce

This was a good read. I like the way you wrote it in such casual language. It really complimented the honesty and frustration in the poem. Thanks for the read.
