Angry Moments (3 Short Poems)

3 Poems with Similar Meaning

Allana Calhoun
Why can't anyone see
and understand
when I need them most? When I'm hurting
a lot
no one seems to notice
or care Then the hurt builds
inside me
and one of these days
I will blow
and when I do
I pity anyone
nearby.

[Poetry Notebook: 5/11/1992] * * * * *

There is a fire
burning in the bowels
of my heart

I cannot quench it
it is too large
I can only hold it
but not for long

One day I'll lose
my hold on this fire
then all beware
the monster that appears

[Poetry Notebook: 5/11/1992]

* * * * *

Don't make me angry
please I beg of you
don't get me mad
otherwise
it is hell for both
you and me

[Poetry Notebook: 5/18/1992]

    Feelings never really get old... though we might express them differently as we age. Nice work, both then and now.
