A/N: In reply to another poem (kind of), but also just me ranting and being all emo and crap. So yeah.
I'm good at many things.
Silly, common things that get a
"Good job!"
"That was great!"
But,
What I'm best at
Is anger.
I can dredge up
Everything
I know about you,
Everything
You've ever done
To cause others pain -
Throw it in your face,
Rip open scars
And long-healed wounds
And new scabs
Until you're bathing in the
Blood,
The proof of all you've done.
And you can't
Fight back,
Because you know I'm right,
And everything you say
Can and will be
Twisted,
And hurled back at you
Ruthlessly
When I get angry.
And even when you've been
Defeated,
Beaten down to
Nothing,
I don't stop.
I don't stop until I know
You won't question me,
Won't get back up,
Won't fight back again.
I crave the power in the moment,
When I know I've won and you've lost
And I've left a jagged scar.
Then...
I wake up.
I take in the
Wreckage,
The carnage,
And I feel terrible.
Am I always like this?
What provokes it?
Will I always be this easily provoked?
Will I hurt my family?
Will I be that abusive parent
In those little chain letters
That bring a tear to my eye?
Can I safely love someone,
Knowing I could hurt them like this?
It torments me,
All the time,
And I'm scared to hurt
The people I love the most.
A/N: So, yes. Thanks for reading, please review!
