Wrath
the dark rage inside my soul
I seek refuge from the anger
but there was no place it didn't burn
I covet the shadows their vantage point
they observe without feeling
indulging without burning
the void fed off such emotion
smiling slyly at my smoldering flame
I wish to get vengeance
but God says that belongs only to him
revenge is human
but there will be none of that either
it isn't me to pick and dig
so I call back my wrath
and let it hurt me instead
scorching my soul as it goes
I feel it simmering now just in my control
it threatens to become one with the shadows
the universe watches as I let it go
God will recompense me
even if I will it otherwise

Re. Wrath
Sorry to hear you're having another bad day, crimsin. So, in theory, I can call you anything I like without recompense? I'm guessing you won't pick and dig. Hoping you won't, is really what I mean, lol. My wish is that one day you might find your way out of that deep black hole you appear to be in. It's just the poem drawing me to these conclusions, nothing more. ;-)

You're lucky it's him you have to deal with & not Billy! Hehe. I know I don't scare you. I also know you'd easily eat guys like me for breakfast. I like to think I am an Alpha male sometimes but, haha, I can dream, can't I? ;-)

I don't want to be a whipping post and there is recompense in that I stand up for myself but in letting go of my anger it burns me too...Billy perhaps there is a lesson I am repeatedly missing...still I will stick up for myself if there is no one else to champion so be it...you are kind alpha male means aggressive in my mind...I am not aggressive but I am a force... thank you my friend for listening ❤️

I like the last couplet. It, like the poem as a whole, radiates with an incandescent fury.

Sending you a big hug.
I don't want you to have any bad days, but what you wrote is exquisite.
I like that you called back your wrath, sometimes mine gets too far away
I can't call it back. You are a master of bringing eloquence to the darkness
with your words. ✨

It's okay to feel angry; that part is human. To deny our feelings or attempt to will them out of existence is unwise. It takes the strong to sit with a heavy emotion such as anger. It wants you to focus on it. It wants you to physically act in retribution in order to ease the pain. This keeps our focus on it. However, asking ourselves to investigate the root of the anger is taking our focus off the actual emotion to dig into a history when we can first remember feeling this way.
That is the source of the wound.
And every time that wound is triggered, the anger grows stronger than before because it's unhealed. Nothing worse than knocking a scab off a healing wound before it's ready.
You're strong. You got this.

Re: Re. Wrath
hello beautiful Ahavati I don't like to get angry because it ruins my day I will say things I meant but I will be cruel and then I will feel bad for defending myself in such a manner...you're right though at the base of this anger was insecurity and someone picking at that... thank you for such an understanding and wise comment 💕
