Harmless

NinjaGirl

There’s anger written on my fist

But blood spills from my wrist

A n(oose) around my neck

But they see the fury in my eyes

 

A manifestation of pain through anger

But such expression is frowned upon

A sword met with pitchforks and fire

So the plastic of the hilt melts.

    Brilliant! The poem starts with powerful anger and actual damage that moves to the threat of a noose and ends with a toy threat that like anger moves from rage through threat to a joke. Very nicely done a fave

      Thank you! It's a mere expression of how much certain aspects of hurt are disregarded.

      • sorenbarrett

        My friend, this is raw and stripped of any false comfort, which you do so beautifully. You’ve captured how pain can wear anger’s face, and how quickly others turn against what they don’t understand. The melting hilt is a haunting image. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛ So glad you’re back!

            I do not understand

            • NinjaGirl

              That's ok! Poems can mean anything to anyone.

              I see this as people thinking its not ok to show your pain through anger, often they cannot understand as they cannot see and often treat it in a light hearted way, nicely expressed and written
