Fear + Anger = Power

Fear + Anger = Power

I want to scream out loud
I want to crash on the drumset
of life.
I want to let the fear out,
flush this anger away.
I know.....................
I should embrace it.
fear+anger=power
power that I can use
to change my world.
If only just a little bit.
I need somewhere to put this power.
This useless, useless power.
I no longer look for solace
on the edge of a razor,
the tip of a knife.
No
no solace to be found there.
Only temporary feelings
a false sense of hope,
making you feel a pleasant rush of happiness
of contentedness.
Making you feel good
but..........
so does the sun,
and in the end,
after basking in the sun for so long,
you just end up with cancer.
Fear
and anger.
What power really comes
from such emotions?

BRAVO!!!! excellent job broken i love this one. yes power does lie within those kind of emotion but the the kind of power u need. in fact i woulnt call it power, but more like snapping losing ur self. was u come out of this daze u are unwae of what u hav done and will reget it. and yes cutting has to power either infact it takes the power away from u. it over powers u and u fall vivtim to it. i thought the ending couldnt be more perfect. excellent job again 1o from me.

thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
