It surged through me
Like fire
Burning up my insides
Yet, I could do nothing but bear the pain
The pain that supercedes anger
The pain of helplessness.
Bound to uphold my morals
By that voice screaming from within,
Screaming at me to hold my tongue
Screaming at them to understand,
Mouth forming curses
Eyes darting arrows
Yet subtly to not offend them.
Rendered speechless
Even though thousand arguments for in my head,
I walk out on them
Stalking off to a place they can’t see me
A place that is peaceful,
Yet unable to extend the tranquility into the heart of the anger.
Still fuming
I think it over
As helplessness washes over me like a wave upon a beach
Anger withdrawing with it leaving my face wet from tears.
A streak of rebellion now overpowers me,
Alas, it is futile
For I cannot get my way if that upsets my loved ones
The people I care for so deeply,
Their beautiful faces marred by disappointed looks
Would pain me more than the pain that follows my anger,
For love surpasses war in ways that cannot be described…
