Anger
the first strike hits and you hope it's over
distracted in thought, unfocused
bad luck strikes to those who lack focus
pay attention is lesson 1
strike 2 is the world seeing your focus lost
amplified emotions get defensive
they hate you and always will
you can't mend the situation
strike 3 you lash out your distortion
your fishing line of gaslighting gets a bite
anger starts to feel good
you're correct in your sweet distortions
strike 4 is action
few get here with anger
those with the will to strike
will always strike
where do we break these trends
it shows everywhere
we cannot suppress and we cannot explode
the tools
the cure
its common sense
What's On Your Mind?
sitting and gazing at an empty screen
translucent words saying "what's on your mind?"
something simple and loose
the people in your life only ask so they can share too
this simple phrase with a blinking line
makes you feel this false sense of security
what if i indulge?
probably, if i did, it would be more than most
life has no spotlight
but this little screen is mine
the split second to vent
to pretend that someone cares
care as in shutting up
care as in just listening
you post and opinions come anyways
mostly anger or the tap of a button
is this what your worth has come to?
how does this work for them?
some people pour their hearts out
what can a stranger say?
what words would comfort me,
but the ears of those
i wish could hear my screams
