Angry Poem

My body's on fire

My fists want to fight

So much hatred built up

Get out of my sight

Screams to relieve pressure

Clench to hold in

Can't take the anger much longer

I need to sin

My body shakes from the hatred

Can't forgive all you've done

No more words to be spoken

The resentment has overcome

I'm tired of hurting

So sick of the pain

The passion is gone

I am just so ashamed

How could I give in

My sanity is gone

Thought love was there

Now I'm ready to move on

heartbreak
