Anguish


Like a cord stretched to the point of breaking
Unstable as a building after a quaking
My emotions have awakened from rest
Forming as violent winds headed west

I now know why lions roar
And bears at times attack
When safety and comfort is lost
It reveals the need to fight back

Yet I am no lion, neither a bear
Whose ways are vicious and primal
I have reason and intellect
Keeping me from being vengeful and homicidal

The need for release is growing within me
But the ensuing carnage must not be
Hence I am left to bemoan and languish
Sitting here now full of rage and anguish
