Anger

I feel it bubbling,
Building inside of me
Licking the insides of my chest
Like an indistinguishable flame
And it runs in my blood stream
Controlling my fingers
And creeping over
The surface of my brain
Then it’s filling in cavernous
Spaces within me
And seeping out through
My paralysed skin
And I’m scared to open my mouth in front of you
In case I cannot keep
This trembling anger in
