Wrath

Feel the anger

feel it and let it leave… Cheridan Smith Photography

Today I am angry.

Lately I’ve been feeling wrath.

I usually run away from it.

Turn it to sadness instead;

Sorrow is comfortable,

Almost a little sweet.

But resentment terrifies me;

I don’t know how to feel it.

I don’t know how to accept it.

Today I will try to embrace it.

Allow myself to feel anger.

Hit the fluffy pillow.

Scream into the silence.

Release this pain that’s been inside

For far too long with no place to go.

For we cannot turn anger into sadness.

We must let it be what it needs to be, let it feel what it needs to feel, and get comfortable with the uncomfortable.
