I Cry When I'm Angry, I Apparently Also Rhyme

Some people scream until their lungs give out

At the moment of pure frustration.

Others hit at walls or drink till stupid

And more curse as if a holy invocation.


Yet I have come to see in myself,

And no matter how hard I try,

The moment I am angry,

I only seem to cry.


What grand betrayal is this?

My own body does me wrong.

I'd like to be poised and stoic,

Instead I'm a child who isn't strong


I lose focus of why I'm upset,

With these things inside my eye,

Oh, how I really do detest

That if I'm angry all I can do is cry.
