I Can’t Hide It.
I try hard but I cannot hide it.
It’s impossible for me control it.
It can attack, its able to defend.
Its honest, that you can depend.
It watches over me protectively.
It has always been a part of me.
Sometimes you verbally hear it.
Sometimes you misunderstand it.
Sometimes I see you imagine it.
Yet it's always deep inside of me.
Please leave it don't provoke it.
Don't be nice and try to coax it.
It is there for all the world to see.
It feels like it comes so naturally.
Is it possible that it is hereditary.
The anger is always inside of me.

I love the way you have left the reveal until the very end it provokes that strong human drive of curiosity and pulls the reader through the poem. Very nicely done.
Thank you for your kind words, enjoy the rest of your day
Don’t we all have it hardwired. When as a child it used to startle me when my hackles would rise quite suddenly 🙏🏻🕊️
We probably do, enjoy the rest of your day
You too🙏🏻🕊️
Anger is a cross to bare.Powerful poem
Thank you for your feedback, enjoy the rest of your day
I once read that when anger is purified it leads to clarity.
You kept me guessing what "it" is until the last line! Great write.
Thank you for your feedback, very much appreciated
All revealed in the final line. Anger is not a pleasant emotion to deal with it. Most people experience it at differing levels. Some can hide it, others not do. I like the way you led us down the garden path to find the solution. Have a good day Tobani.
Thank you for your kind words, have a lovely day
Looks like you can't judge a book by its cover.
You should never do that, read some of the story first
Well said.
The question for me is, why hide it? Of course, there are reasons for doing so, but i have only ever found that hiding my anger makes me even more angry. All the same, brilliant expression my friend. Thought-provoking and worth a fave! 🌹👏
Thank you for your kind words, have a lovely weekend
You too!
This makes the readers curious until they read the last line. Powerful and well written!
Thank you for your kind words, have a lovely weekend
A very good poem about emotions and within.
Thank you for your kind words have a lovely weekend
Fine words Tobani, that anger can be destructive so it is better to keep it hidden.
