Violence is my release

My anxiety bubbles into anger

My hand turns white
Balled into a fist within the safety
of my pocket

My jaw is tight
My shoulders tense
Tears prick my eyes

I blink then away

I exhale sharply

Click my music up until

I can hear

The music

In my blood

A heavy beat
Is it my heart-
or my music?
The sound hammers my head.

I release my hand

The anger that had turned into anxiety
Not gone
But temporarily diminished
