Regardless of Anger
By: Lauren

I used to scream
I used to fight
I said angry words
Full of hate and spite

I made a bitter face
As fire burned in my eyes
I cursed your name
Hardening my heart like stone

Poison venom filled my throat
Choking and drowning me
Such madness, such hate
An uncomprehendable mix of fury and confusion

But it's all futile
For there are no winners
In this endless game,
We all lose

Full of hatred, humanity lost
I fall to my knees, unable to support myself any longer
With tears streaming down my face
I look up, and see a cross

My heart is softened
As I realize my mistake
Now, I turn the other cheek
And accept whatever strike is sent

Anger and hate does not fill me,
But rather weariness
I'm so tired of running in circles with you
All I've ever wanted was your love

I was never able to understand you
And I still don't
But instead of getting infuriated about it
I move on

My heart is light
Yet full of sorrow and hope,
Sorrow for what is lost between you and I,
Hope that one day you'll show you care

Even though it hurts just a bit
It's growing numb over time
But I'd rather it be like this
Than to have a heart full of rage

I look at you
Not knowing what to think
I love you regardless
Regardless of what you've done

Bending my knees,
I crouch down
I fold my hands together
And begin to pray

I pray for a better tomorrow
For you and I
So that a day might come
Where we'll embrace and our hearts will be one
