Anger's Rise and Fall
I feel the familiar anger
Rising up in me,
___________It screams for no mercy,
___________Demanding he not go free.
The bitterness that once gripped me,
Haunts me even now,
___________It craves brutal vengeance,
___________It craves to take him out.
My heart that once lay wounded,
Now fills itself with hate,
___________It cries out for his downfall,
___________It cries out for his sobs.
But I feel the forgotten love,
It’s pleading for attention,
___________It tells me to remember
___________That once he was my defender.
The hope that had gone hidden,
Resurfaces with a crown,
___________It whispers my nighttime wishes,
___________And tells me not to doubt.
I feel the forgiveness,
Rising up in me,
___________It screams for all mercy,
___________Demanding he go free.
