Lightning Rage

by Baby Rainbow   Sep 9, 2012


Anger building inside my body
as I try to type this poem
with shaking hands.
My bones trembling violently
as the rage travels through me
like a lightening bolt.
So much words I want to say
but they get trapped in my throat
as I choke.
My ears cannot believe the sound
of your vicious lies
pouring from your alcohol covered lips.
For one short moment
I feel myself rise high above
as I slip out of my body.
I feel my fist clench tight
as it connects with your face
in a full blown punch.
My anger is disappointed
when I return back to my body
and let go of that thought.
You are not worth the energy
and I will not reduce myself
for the likes of you.
So go and seek your bottle
and consume the poison inside
as it drowns what is left of your soul.
Do not expect any sympathy
after what you have done to me,
for you will find not a pennies worth.
I am giving up on what we had
because you gave up on me too,
when you chose the drink instead.
Your lies stab me
like the sharpest knife
which I cannot take out.
Consider this your warning,
this is my goodbye
as now I will depart.
The consequences of your actions
like karma will return

and you will find me gone.

    I liked your poem, but the '!'s at the opening made it a bit confusing. You know, regarding the flow.

    'My anger is disappointed
    when I return back to my body
    and let go of that thought.'

    Beautiful.

    I can certainly feel the anger in your words as I read this poem. The pure feelings and emotions can easily be felt. I love the rawness of this piece. The strength it would have taken to write this poem I can see that you have. I think it is something you needed to write, for a healing process. Awesome, awesome awesome!

    First of all, I love the title. You can tell just by reading this it was going to have strong emotions. I love lightning, it's amazing... I always love the use of lightning in poetry.

    This poem is just completely full of anger and hate for that person you once had love for. They betrayed you, choosing alcohol over you. I will never understand why one would do that... I understand it's an addiction... but all they need is the willpower to change, to get help.... it can be done, many people overcome the struggle. Others just don't even try... they give up too easily and actually love the addiction... I don't understand it.... why they would want to hurt their loved ones so much.

    This poem really slaps the reader in the face and wake them up. The anger in this piece is just chilling. You painted such a picture with your words that this piece couldn't help but melt the hardest of hearts.

    If this is something you are going through I can tottally see why you had to vent and I hoped it helped. I just wish there was some advice I could give but you seem savy so I think you know what you must do in order to survive this situaution.

    If on the other hand this poem was made up you did an excellent job getting the reader to believe the poem was real. You can see 100% went into this.

    The poem is amazing and faultless

    5/5
