anger

1. I can feel it in my chest
straining my heart's covering.
I can not even struggle
to keep it from appearing.
It bursts out of me
Like a tornado
and destroys any illusion
I have of a halo.

2. What keeps my son crying
on so many nights and days
what wrecks my happiness
what takes my smiles away
what makes my best plans fall apart
what drowns the sunlight and blackens the blue sky
Turns honey to water and makes faith dry.
