Anger

 Anger...

You gesture and point

you yell and your scream

you take a breath to begin again

Please lower your hands

please quiet your tone

please stop to take a breath

When you gesture and point

I want to take a stand

When you yell and scream

I want to match your volume

When you take that breath

I attempt to make you understand

Dont you see I am trying?

Dont you wish to understand?

You condemn and judge

you create that mental list

you showcase all my wrongs

Please take time to understand

please know that I am much more

please dont look at just my flaws

When you condemn and judge

I feel the confusion build within

When you create your mental list

I dont see it like you do

When you focus on all wrongs

I feel my positives ebb away

Dont you know I am much more?

Dont you see what I do?
