Fires Within

Anger is a wildfire, crackling in my chest,

A storm of emotions, never at rest.

It roars like thunder, a storm uncontained,

A beast unleashed, wild, and unrestrained.

Frustration’s a cage, with bars made of doubt,

It grips me tight, whispering, “You’re not getting out.”

It’s the weight of the world on my shoulders,

A heavy cloak that only grows bolder.

Fear? Oh, fear is a shadow that lurks,

It dances in corners, where silence works.

It whispers, “What if?” in the dead of the night,

A thief of my dreams, stealing my light.

I’m a volcano, ready to erupt,

With each passing moment, I feel more corrupt.

But in this chaos, I find my voice,

In the depths of my fury, I make a choice.

To channel the flames, to harness the rage,

To turn my frustration into a stage.

I’ll scream my truth, let the echoes resound,

From the ashes of anger, my strength will be found.

Fear may be a shadow, but I’ll shine bright,

I’ll face it head-on, I’ll stand up and fight.

For in this struggle, I’m learning to grow,

To dance with the darkness, to let my heart glow.

So here I am, raw, unfiltered, and real,

With every pulse of anger, I learn how to heal.

Frustration, you won’t break me, I’ll rise from the fray,

In the fire of my spirit, I’ll forge a new way.

This is my anthem, my battle, my roar,

From the depths of my being, I’ll open the door.

To a world where emotions are free to ignite,

Where anger is passion and fear fuels the fight.
