Rage

It boils up,
And rips through you,
Like ravenous teeth
Through raw meat.

It cuts you open,
And digs through your insides.
It claws through you memories,
Makes you remember every tear and failure.

You want to scream,
And slash
And rip
And smash.

It controls you.
It grips at every nerve and muscle
And it doesn't let go.
Not for anything or anyone.

And not far behind,
Are its minions;
Misery, Sorrow
And Regret.

Together they tear and burn
Through mind, body, and soul.
Completely crushing them,
Until nothing is left.
