Anger

Thank you for the pain 
you have given me. 
You set me up 
just so you can tear me down. 
Pretending to help me 
just to hurt me. 
Others see you as an angel. 
I see the real you. 
You are a snake 
in a fake skin. 
 
You surround me, 
like the snake you are, 
pretending you want to guide me. 
You point me the way 
just so you can stab me. 
Constricting, choking 
I'm slowly dying. 
Biting, gnawing, 
you poison me. 
 
Your lies will stab me 
just like your fangs. 
They infect me, 
fooling me, 
so you can play me. 
I am not a toy, 
though you see different. 
You push and pull 
trying to control. 
To you I am dirt. 
And I mean nothing. 
 
Breaking news! 
This dirt has feelings. 
Feelings you hurt 
for your own game. 
You hurt me, 
so thank you for the pain.
