TW: anger issues, social anxiety

Anger, a force so controlling,  so toxic. I don't want to be touched, I don't want to hurt you. I'm sorry! Why did I deserve that? I'm sorry. Why did you do that? I'm sorry. I'm sorry!
Anger, fear. Aren't they the same? Most times I find that there's something else lying underneath my anger. But anger is always there. I don't know how to make it leave...

... Are you angry?

What are you mad about?

What rubs you the wrong way?

Are you... like me?

I'm always angry, but I know I shouldn't be.

I'm unreasonable

I'm unstable

Unlovable

You shouldn't be here, I'll only hurt you. You don't need me.

But you stayed anyway, even when everyone else left. Do I... deserve this? Do I deserve you? Surely I don't.

I'm scared. I'm sorry I yelled. I'm afraid of you. I don't want you to leave. Stay... please?

Please don't leave.
