Anger is my friend for the moment
eating insult is like chewing my ears off
and I am not cannibalistic
nor am I Mr. Mike Tyson!
So I can't take it anymore,
just let me fume for a while
and fight my demons
with a swift sword of venom.

Rage is my being in myself
needing a proper venting
in a razor-sharp direction,
else I might become
a source of wasted energies,
losing my point of view,
caught in a blistering tornado
heading into a reckless wreck!

I don't believe in breaking things
and I am miles away from
breaking any relationships,
for it takes more energy to mend
and rebuild than to rip apart
but I don't want to break my spirit either
no, I am not the ballistic kind,
so let me lose my rage in silent waves.

In time the waves will reach the sea
and by then my anger would be free.
For now, let me be simply angry
and don't even ask why I am so!

!!!

Great poem, Sudhir. Anger is such an all consuming thing, robbing us of all positive energies.

Hope you are feeling better about things now!

Sorry to see that you are in this mode, a most destructive thing, anger.  I hope it resides and after some time, you are back to your sweeter side.

The positive side is that your anger inspired a marvelous, descriptive poem.  "Let me spray venom"....what a great title.

they must be fought with love.....take care

so let me lose my rage in silent waves.

I try  that  but occasionally they build up and I do think it is unhealthy to hold it all in...writing is  a good outlet isn't it...

Friends, I just tried to feel rage and write about it. I am fine. But I realised that it was difficult to imagine anger and write. Thanks for coming by.

Corinne, that's an excellent summary. Thank you

Decaflame, thank you a lot

Mike, I am glad that you liked the title. Thanks a lot.

Kathleen, thank you very much.

Wynter, writing is indeed a excellent form of expression of the deepest feelings, be it anger, pain, frustration, love, or happiness. Thank you for reading

James, Thanks, my friend

Regards to all,
Sudhir

Everything has a purpose, Sir Sudhir, even rage...it can be a cleansing experience. One loud shout of rage can bring peace to a troubled mind...you should hear me on the golf course!  

Excellent writing, good sir..

Oooh. Yeah.   Lucky for me, I can blame it on hormones? Smile with me here, but this just translated into my three word litany for the night: "LEAVE ME ALONE!"

sigh...trying to recover now...thank you my dear friend! Finally, somebody touched a GOOD NERVE...LOL..made me smile, actually.
