Unlock The Door!

my heart grieves...
my ship tossed by the storms...
the anger of those forgotten,
cast aside, thrown away.
those bound by the curse,
of oppression, of slavery.
those denied their basic rights,
because they are different,
because they have not.
those misunderstood,
those misled and ill informed.
those with no chance
for anything more than
where they are now.
those who hurt, who destroy,
who take, who use and abuse,
believing they, (and only they) ,
are right...
those who cannot feel,
who are afraid of themselves...
who dare not give without holding back...
i feel the anger...
just outside the door.
breathing in, i take the fury.
breathing out, i unlock the door!

Anger within me

My anger is not love …
My anger is drinking my life away.
My anger is killing someone who hurt me big.
My anger does one thing never loves.
My anger is ramming your head through a glass door of my use to be home.
When your are mad you do stupid things, stupid things that are stupid.
When mad you don’t feel nothing anger we all have
anger you cant change.
When I am mad stay, stay away from everyone.
My anger can kill because you do stupid things
when you are mad filled with ANGER

Anger fills my heart and soul

Anger fills my heart and soul
Anger takes a mighty toll
Anger lessens but can never leave
Anger you hope to never receive,
Anger stays forever within
Anger acts with the might of all sin
Anger is deadly to all around
Anger gets mad at the thought of sound
Anger is the thoughts in my head
Anger that’s mine all should dread
Anger for me is different from you
Anger you see tells me what to do
Anger will sit and whisper in my ear
Anger he sits and tells me all that you fear,

Anger…
He is here
He’s here to stay
Anger is the hole
In which we lay
Anger is
And Anger will
Always be with us

He is in me, and he is in you
He can make you do
What he wants you to
Anger will make you
Make you cry
Anger can make you
Want to die
Anger can make you
Go insane
Anger….. ... A blood filled rain
No more anger
No more…..
Walk to the bright light
Shinning through that door…
Not knowing what’s in store
But even then
Anger lives on
But you… nevermore

Breathing

Eyes are feeling heavy but they never seem to close
The fan blades on the ceiling spin but the air is never cold
And even though you are next to me I still feel so alone
I just can't give you anything for you to call your own
And I can feel you breathing
And it's keeping me awake
Can you feel it beating?
My heart's sinking like a weight
Something I've been keeping locked away behind my lips
I can feel it breaking free with each and every kiss
I couldn't bear to hurt you but it's all so different now
Things that I was sure of, they have filled me up with doubt
And I can feel you breathing
And it's keeping me awake
Can you feel it beating?
My heart's sinking like a weight
I can feel you breathing
It's keeping me awake
Could you stop my heart? It's always beating.
Sinking like a weight
How am I supposed to feel about the things I've done?
I don't know if I should stay or turn around and run
I know that I hurt you, things will never be the same
The only love I ever knew, I threw it all away
And I can feel you breathing
And it's keeping me awake
Can you feel it beating?
My heart's sinking like a weight
I can feel you breathing
It's keeping me awake
Could you stop my heart? It's always beating.
Sinking like a weight

Torn

You have torn my heart out.
You have made it bleed.
I want you to feel what I feel
I want you to take heed.

To tell you how much you hurt me
To tell you how you can DARE.
Anger boils up inside.
Anger, I don’t care.

You with your boyish charms,
You with the alluring eyes,
I gave you my whole body
I gave you me, and I despise.

Say that I am incredible,
Say that I am unique,
Anger I believed your verbal skills,
Anger at the lies you speak.

You clearly have a way with women.
You entice them with your words,
I was drawn in by your helplessness
I was drawn in - I feel absurd.

God, help me let those feelings go.
God, help me to forgive.
God let me learn to love again,
God let me learn to live.

Hold Onto Your Anger

no amount of positive change in the world
which has advanced the betterment of us
as a species,
has come about by staring into the face of
idiocy, malicious intent, straight out murder,
slavery, oppression & genocide &
then trying to win it over with
concessions &
compassion-
it is discontent & rage
that have come about as a direct result of the forces in this world
which think that they can do to you what they want
when they want-
without it, there would be no
progress.

anger riles the individual
the individual gains strength
the strong individual speaks to another &
two become four,
four become eight-
sooner than later,
anger & anger alone
has brought together a mass of people
who understand that what has been going on
can no longer be so-

SOMETHING
HAS TO CHANGE

anger produces power in the “powerless”
by allowing them the courage to say that there is nothing to lose
when it comes to striving for
rights denied to you-

hold onto your anger
clench it in your fist & never let it go
for what you have inside you is
just-
what you have inside you is a need to utilize every part of your
being &
if your anger is all you have at your disposal
(that which cannot be tainted by those outside you) ,
then it is more beautiful than anything &
it is yours & yours alone-
it is representative of your own voice,
your own life &
your own ability to resist the destruction of your
will.

My Anger

My anger wants to kill.
My anger wants to spill.
My anger wants to smash a wall.
My anger wants to make someone feel small.
My anger makes me carve my skin.
My anger is locked up within.
My anger is fierce and fatal.
My anger isn't stable.
When my anger is out stay away.
Because my anger destroys everything in its way.

The Prisoner

Here behind the wall
I feel so small
Breathing but not preceiving
Here anger is me
Love sets me free
Feeling and not believing

Here in my mind
Biding my time
Waiting but not relating
Here anger is me
Love sets me free
The Prisoner is now escaping

Fell In Love

I know I shouldn't
Be in love with you but I am
I know I shouldn't take you back
But I would in a heart beat
I know I shouldn’t let you back in
That secret room of mine
But I do
I know I should be changing the locks on the door
The door you had off the hinges and on the floor
But I’m not

For you could just walk on in and destroy
Anything you wanted to destroy
My heart and soul belongs to you
For now all you have to do is open the door
Now you don’t completely destroy my heart
Every time I talk to you
For I’ve gotten a lot stronger

I know I should be
Running away from you
Away from heartache
And never looking back cause
My heart could not handle
Another heart break
Like the one I just went through
Because of you

I should not care if you get hurt
You’ve hurt me too many times to count
But I won’t
I will always be here awaiting the call saying
You’re in trouble
Or you need somewhere to go to
Even if you want to come back to me
And you are sorry once again for leaving me
So of course I’m there to take you back
Even if my heart is yelling
No no please don’t it would destroy me more
I couldn’t handle it
Because I’ve fallen in love

A Buddhist Christmas

sitting on the bed
with my old blind dog...
breathing in, breathing out...

breathing in suffering,
all the suffering of the hungry,
the homeless, those in prison....

those ravaged by war....
of the lonely, those filled with despair,
the angry, the fearful, the lost....

breathing in deeply,
wrapping it all in snowlike stillness...
and then breathing out....

breathing out compassion,
total, unconditional, free compassion...
the oneness that feels every feeling,

hurts with every hurt,
prays with every need....
not judging, not holding back,

asking for nothing in return...
just breathing out....
and listening with gratitude

to the heartbeat of my faithful dog...
to the heartbeats of all that live...
lost inside life itself!

Pain-Filled Anger

Oh! What is this?
Pain inside my heart,
Maybe it's anger...
A vibrant twist of both...

Red anger pouring out,
Raindrops pouring down
From my bloodshot eyes.

Oh! What is this?
Emptiness,
Running short of emotion...
No more pain,
No more anger,
Coming up empty...
It's like everything's leaked out

Red numbness pouring out
In order to feel something
And raindrops
Don't feel my eyes anymore...

I feel nothing,
Emotions run dry,
I want to feel something,
Anything at all...

But coming up empty
Is all I seem to have.

It's just not fair...
It's all coming back,
An ache in my heart,
Anger filling my body.

I'd rather have this
Than feel numb,
But red anger pours out
Once again
As raindrops feel my eyes
Once again.

Raindrops fall down to my dirty,
Beat up shoe.
Pain and anger,
So much,
Red stains now feel my mattress.

So, I'll listen to the beat
Of my favorite band
Because it seems
To be the only thing
That will keep my mind occupied
From all this anger and pain

And I'll fall asleep,
Headphones in my ear,
So my anger won't
Win me over,
At least for tonight.

One More Chance

(michael masser/gerry goffin)
Feel like a fool
Not realizing all the value you had
I took a happy ending and made it sad
The day I walked away and left you alone
With hardly an explanation
You stood on your own
And handled the situation
And showed to me
How understanding you could be
Now Im alone
Looking back at all the years that we shared
Thinking of the pain you should have been spared
Afraid to ask forgiveness
But where can I go
Theres no one else to turn to
I still have my pride
But now its time to learn to cast it aside
And come to you with honesty
Give me just one more chance
Such a simple thing Im asking for
Just one more chance
It would be a shame to close the door to
One more chance
Isnt that what we pray each night for?
One more chance
Isnt that what were fighting for?
Why throw away a love that needs one more chance
Now Im afraid that after all Ive said
Youll still turn me down and youll smile
And say Ill see you around
But remember that you still have a choice
And I hope and pray youll make it
Youll think of my heart
And you wont wanna break it
And Ill prove to you the kind of lady I can be
Give me just one more chance
Such a simple thing Im asking for
Just one more chance
It would be a shame to close the door to
One more chance
Isnt that what we pray each night for?
One more chance
Isnt that what were fighting for?
One more chance
Dont you know that we belong together
One more chance
Now I really need you more than ever
One more chance
You and I can really make it baby
One more chance
All you have do is say the words to
One more chance
One more
One more chance
One more chance

The Root Of All Evil

Anger,
The root of all evil,
Dwells in your heart.
Anger,
Towards me,
For what I have done.

As time passes,
The anger grows,
Until it has engulfed your,
Entire mind, soul and,
Your entire being.

Irrationality goes hand in hand,
With the anger you,
Conceal in your very,
Troubled heart.
Irrationally you judge,
Irrationally you blame,
But I have irrationally acted,
And I know I have hurt you.

In my own anger,
I have pierced the heart,
That I once cared for,
The heart I once held close,
To my own,
But now that heart,
I have torn.

The words I said,
Have been forgotten,
The anger I felt,
Has been relived,
But you broken still,
Remain.

I am truly sorry,
For my harsh words and,
For my rash actions,
They were only in anger,
And anger,
Is the root of all evil.

Morning Meditation

breathing in,
i take in the pains of hunger,
the ache of loss,
the despair of homelessness.

breathing out,
i exhale oneness, sameness,
and peace.

breathing in,
i take in prejudice, hatred,
fear, and anger,
and the blackness of greed.

breathing out,
i exhale forgiveness,
understanding, and compassion.

Anger- Linda's Story

There is this angry place
she said
that's been inside me since
my earliest days.

And when I need
I go there
for power
and resistance.

If ever
someone
hurts me
I let it out
to go free
and kill
or hurt back
and allow
it to take retribution.

It makes me feel strong
It makes me feel not so weak.

Only thing
is it is starting to get out of control.

After getting out
sometimes
it will not go back in
It remains out
and hurt
some people
it shouldn't.

That's the thing
about this Anger
thing
I'm afraid
most times now.

I am not in control.
It is.

Now it is Scary Anger
and I blank out at times
to wake up
shocked to see
what it has done.
I need help with it.

A warrior’s poem

A warrior’s poem


My anger bleeds my innocence away
Until all I am left with is the silence like after a question
In my mind I carry the suggestion
That I might be better off laughing my anger away
But I feel better being angry and seeing
My anger like the blood red flag it seems to be
Seemingly I wave it around trying to attract the bull and take it by the horns
Like my life since I was born!
Anger is a symptom of my frustration and sadness
A symptom of my friendless madness
A cross I bear
A sword I use to strike and to parry
Those who would leave me at deaths door
Yes and that goes for friends and loved ones
Who know how to hurt me the most
And raise a toast to my despair
Push my buttons and then stare back at me
Waiting for an answer
One day my anger is all I will have left
Anger at constant disappointment at still having life and air to breathe
But still having nothing in which to believe in but
The anger to prove everyone wrong
An obstinate man who says I will and I can
Prove the buggars wrong
and stay strong
no matter what they say
my warrior spirit will carry me on
and my anger will burn in me
until I fear no pain
then I will be a light shining bright and I will fear no one!

Hurt

My heart is screaming,
I see it fading,
I must be dreaming,
Or breathing wrong,
But this is not true that I am hurt,
You have pushed me enough,
Its my turn to take a stand up,
If you can listen to what I need to say,
What I have to say may effect you and I,
What made me happy was being with you,
What made me sad was see you go,
I feel hurt in the inside and outside,
I am bleeding, screeching, heaving, leaving, I am lost,
Lost myself in trans of time,
I am not afraid to cry,
I will try not to die in this place,
You had your fair chance to flew the coop,
Your chance to be free to fly,
I more hurt to see my love ones die in my eyes.

Just Wanting To Be Understood

No one understands
No one comprehends the pain I feel
No one cares
What happens to me
No one cares
How I end up

Anger running so deep inside
I've been hurt on too many times
Pain strikes with every thought
Of how life used to be
Friends and loved ones lost
Relationships once had ignited
Everything in life killed
By one feeling
ANGER

Pain streaks through my veins
As I try to feel what I used to
As I try to imagine
The good old days
When everything was better
When someone actually cared

The pain never leaves
From way back when
Images stuck in my head
Thoughts never said
Life sinks into a hole
No one notices what happened
Disappeared and never returned

Best friends never again
More pain hits
Nothing ever the same
Anger so deep you want to kill
Given the chance you probably will
Hatred, pain, past memories relived

Wondering what is in store
How you hate the life you live
Want to hide
And never return
Die and never be seen
Live a different life than you lead

Get out and roam
You've tried before
Never quite got out that door
Always one more thing to do
Never time for just you
No one ever seems to care
Life was better somewhere else

Death seems so much better
But deep down inside
You know it's no the answer
Get out you scream
To your pain
Leave forever
And come not again
Hatred is the cause of this all

Nothing understood by those who care
They don't seem to know you're there
They hear but don't understand
They see but don't comprehend
Life so simple never repaired
Everything seems so useless there

Killing all around us
Between ourselves
Wanting to get out
Of this world we live
Death seems the answer
Yet never said
Tried so hard but never won

Anger towards ones your supposed to love
No more trust
To him you give
Hurt you one to many times
Permanent was the pain
Bruises from his anger you recieve
More anger you then get

Killing not the answer here
Wishing it was
So you could be free
One more freedom you would get
If he weren't around to hit

Anger can't be released anymore
Trouble is caused to much
Always more pain from it
What to do you do not know
Leaving for good would be so great
Getting out of something so bad
Worse than thousand about to die
