Dear Grant,

How I wish I could be with you now and hold you until the tears and the anger have left you again.
The amount of love we feel for a person equals the hate we can feel when they let us down. What you are going through is very normal for a loving and caring man such as you. Nothing wrong with this and if anyone should be unkind to you because of this vent, I will give them a beating they will never forget.
You have a heart that feels, cherish it for it is not given to just anyone to be this passionate.
When you are done being angry, open up you arms and let the poor bugger in again;)

Love you, handsome;)

5/5 Ingrid

I am a woman and I have been in this place you write about and it scares me. Thankfully I was able to get control with God's help and I did not harm anyone. It does feel exactly as you describe in these verses. You are right in that a lot of people have been here but cannot admit it or talk about it. 5/5

I think it's an extremely honest and striking write. It's ultimately a thrilling poem, I enjoyed reading it, and I found myself able to relate to it. Bravo, my friend.

A fantastic description. Its nice to see some honest poems on here, that you werent afraid to post. It was really well done and your description blew me away.
Woah, i really loved it. the anger.. it was just really well described and unique. Theres not much to say really, except that it was a brilliant piece of poetry.
Awesome work Grant.
5/5

Amazing poem! Very expressive and at the same time so powerful enough that the reader is able to delve within those same feelings.
5/5 from me.

Hey it's better to write it and let it be said then do it and hear about someone being dead

I think its just an honest poem and very true .... love reading it!

thanks for sharing and posting it

Amazingly written poem, lol i feel that way too... but not to my child (dont have one) but to people... wen im angry i can sooo relate to it...

Yeah don't we all get to that point with somebody

Grant when I read your poems I often have one single thought. A thought that has yet to deceive me . And that thought is ..................
OH this is going to be GOOD!!!
I love your writing my friend and the diverse concept behind each one . Always a 5/5

Slash..
Wow I congratulate and thank you at the same time for having the guts to post and share this poem with us.
First of all I loved the flow..it went really well except for a stanza I will mention now.

My calloused hands wringing
Twisting, gripping then letting go
Not wanting to hurt you
Yet there is an urge to grab you by your neck

This was my fave stanza in the poem, even though I really loved it..the flow went a bit off here..But my love for it was above the flow hehe.

I thank you lord for the courage to withdraw
For giving me the control
For without it, all control would be lost
And my son would now be DEAD

Amazing end..I'm left speechless here..seriously dude you've impressed me with your closure and the feelings in this poem were intense.
One thing to say..I don't find the capitalizing of the last word is necessary...maybe it's just a point of view..cause I don't like capitalizing in poetry in general.

But hey :) that was a dark poem indeed.
You're really good at dark poems !
Write on.

I LOVE IT!!
