His anger sparks the darkness
as he lies alone in bed
self-hatred turning outward
blaming anyone, everyone, instead
Inner turmoil eats away
and bitterness tastes sweet
he’ll swallow his pride for another day
and never admit defeat
Is it her he really cares for now
or just to prove his worth?
to let her go, he won’t “allow”
he’ll move the heavens and the Earth
What obscurity holds this man
and shakes him to the core?
…anger, fear and insecurity
always knocking at his door |
