The Anger Within

Written: Dec 11, 07

It boils
It rages
It reaches the rim
It surfaces
But it stays within 

I anger from silence
I anger from indifference
I anger from pain
I anger from words never spoken
I anger from within 

My pen writes in fury
My mind races with thought
My feet stomp the path way
It is all a hurricane circling within.

The Angry Waves

Written: October 5, 07

I hear you in the waves
They crash with anger
Each wave frothing with rage
Each wave bringing you closer

The sea mist whispers your name
I taste the salt of your name
I smell the freshness of the mist

I want to walk into you
I want you to wash over me
Wash away my sins

Take me away with your current
Take it all away
Let me become one with the sea
Let me become one with the salt
Let me become one with the mist

I Don’t Owe You Anything

Written: Sep 18, 07

I don’t owe you affection
I don’t owe you humor
I don’t owe you fidelity
I don’t owe you sorrow
I don’t owe you love
I don’t owe you kindness
I don’t owe you anything

I choose what to give and when. It is my declaration of independence from debt. If I owe anyone anything it is to myself. I do owe myself time
I do owe myself respect
I do owe myself space
I do owe myself a vacation
I do owe myself fulfillment
I do owe myself satisfaction
