Fiery Demons (A Poem) - MuddyRiverGirl
Like preparing a bonfire to burn high and bright
Dousing sticks with oil before throwing in a match
Anger is like the building up of negative emotions
As if an untamed wildfire has spread through you
Anger causes the whitening of your squeezed knuckles
The hands that turn to fists which then lash out
Or the words that shapeshift into fiery daggers
Your eyes become covered by a red blindfold
And your minds edges become fuzzy at the corners with darkness
You say things that you will regret later and your actions get you in trouble
It lowers your confidence, strengthens your hate, and disintegrates your relationships
Anger can lead to hate which makes your world turn from light to dark
The flowers that surrounded you become wilted and charred
Sunlight which used to beam down has gone away behind the clouds
Shadows lurk around the every corner of your life and begin to haunt you
Dangers enter your life and whisper promises and desires into your ears
Your mind begins to weaken with every wrong, angry choice
The heart which used to be yours is now small, dark, and covered in fresh scars
Anger rips away those who you used to love and who loved you back just as much
It tears away your confidence, strips you of happiness, and drains your essence of self
Anger is the Devil leading on your path to hate and it is up to you to follow that path...
or choose to be who you really are, or wish to be.
