It’s easy to be angry
But also a waste if
The heart of it all
Goes unnamed and
Unclaimed
Vehement cries deny
This is all anger
Nothing else
When you’re done
Screaming
Nothing’s changed
Pause
Try to name it
What’s going on
In your head?
Your Body
Chest compressed
Jaws clenched
Breath too fast
Hands balled into fists
Try – Disappointment?
Yes?
Try Again – Waste?
No.
Try Again – boredom?
maybe?
Name what it is
To be
Sick of waiting
Expectations too high
Life isn’t as hard
As we make it
Eat
Sleep
Take care
Did you see the stars?
That bird?
Feel, hear, see
Speak.
It’s all here,
You should be
Too.
