Anger

Much like the loneliness that never left, anger was abundant. It scared me, the sheer amount of it all. It made me think of how far I could be pushed until I didn’t care about anything other than setting the hellfire inside of me free. It was the kind of maddening feeling that makes your chest shake, your jaw clench, and forces you to shut your eyes so you can think straight. It wasn’t as simple as a steady darkness in my heart, no- that I could control. It was something much more powerful, a primal force that just felt...right. Some part of me knew that letting my anger out wouldn’t help anything, but that same voice echoed that it didn’t care.


Anger is one of the strongest emotions that we as humans can feel, it’s the opposite of love. Most people think that hate is, but those of us who have felt pure, righteous anger know something different. It begs to be let loose, to be used until it is gone. All I wanted right then was to give in, let go, damned be the consequences. I could feel the fire welling up in my chest with every thought, every breath.

I could literally feel the sparks at my fingertips, and my vision was blurred. My jaw was tight, and my fists were clenched beyond white knuckles as I rumbled out, “Get. Out. Now.”
