Blaze

Anger, deep down soul boing anger
Deep dark places exist within the soul
Bubble up now and then to remind
You do not live alone in the world.
Interactions with other people
Feelings, rumblings, grumblings
All are a part of a life lived in the world.

Deep down soul eating anger is within me.
It eats me into depression.
Knowing this monster that lives within.
It acts like fire, eating away at things.
Springing up into thoughts.
Curling and burning the edges of life.
Allowing the singeing of the corners of life.
It is like an old growth forest,
Sometimes it needs to burn to help the regrowth begin.
Stand and watch the fire burn
to begin to gain some control.
To bring it back into the soul and acknowledge it.
