Anger
Anger boils up to cover your hurting.
When a friend turns to stab you
and breaks promise to you
there's pain from the flirting.
How bitter the cup.
Like a volcano you burn down deep.
Fuming and boiling within. Be angry, but don't sin.
Use reason, sanity keep. Fine peace again.
Laugh like crazy; madman's aspirin.
But it doesn't get rid of it all. It just buries it
deeper till it shoots up so tall that it
grows up again to heights hazy.
Spit it out. There's no other way to get rid
of the awful tyrant who took your heart like
a pirate. Listen to what I say and don't pout.
I see you suffer and I feel your pain.
I hear your heart break and I grieve for your
sake. My tears fall like rain for you, my brother.
