Bared Teeth

athora13

A numbing feeling spreading over me

Who is this?

Shes' overwhelmed

Angry

Hurt

Wanting something more than

She thinks she can find

Not just injured physically but mentally

Thought she had found her way

She knows

This won't last

But it feels so real

Right now

She doesn't know how to let it out

She holds anger back

For people wouldn't be able

To handle if she actually let go

She can already feel the redness

Of blurring vision were she to let loose

The beast that sleeps inside

The dragon is slowly awakening

It would not be pretty

For now a sweet butterfly

Is present

People keep pushing and pushing

It seems as if they want to see the dragon

Why?!

WHY?!

She screams

"You can't handle the beast

So quite trying to wake it!"

There's no putting it to rest once it awakes

Villains

Aren't born they're made

You think me kind

Sweet

To the extreme

Be meaner

Show your dark side

Well what you don't understand

Is if you think I'm extremely nice now

The other side is as dark

As this side is bright

Pick your poison darling

For if I go to the dark side

There's no promise I'll come back

I won't just have one target

I have enough anger

To burn this whole place down

You'll never associate the word sweet with me again

If I were to release the so called "heathen"

As you say

So watch your back

For if you keep pushing

She'll come when you least expect it

Red lips

Spark in her eye

Not the good kind

Frost in her tone

You won't expect her

Think it's some part of a game

When in fact

She hasn't just come for what you owe her

The cache of emotional distress

And trauma you've caused

Oh no

Your soul is what she'll take

No other payment will cut it

So consider what you're saying

What you're doing

The next time

You ask her to release the beast

Are you ready for the flames

The downward slope you're about to watch the world slide down?

Because if not....

You need to shut your mouth

    lots of anger, it tells a story! I love it

  • L. B. Mek

    (and yet
    a little empathy, a slice of patience
    and all that knotted anger will unravel, gradually
    and like that muscle
    that flared up anytime, we tried
    to take a step
    eventually with the right TLC
    we'll find, beneath the pain
    awaits, a path to uncovering a strength
    we never knew we could attain..
    Schopenhauer, and that laughing philosopher, Democritus
    knew it best:
    'life is suffering'..
    but if we find a way to hand-on, to survive
    to save another, or that betraying reflection
    in the mirror
    we may yet curate a path, to that better
    we never dared to dream of, before...)
