Danger
Danger
I see anger on the horizon
rearing its ugly head for all to see
Horns raised on head like daggers
pointed and sharp
d - anger

I though it had been tucked away safely
somewhere in the pages of self-help books
that tell you to breathe
I must have missed a chapter
or two because I find myself trapped
in the basement
fighting my own demons
confronting my own fears
facing my own insecurities
and I am now in danger of
an explosion erupting inside of me
like a pyrotechnic display of
fantastic reds and greens
betraying my facade of confidence
and self-control
undermining my sense of self
and causing me to delve deep into
my psyche to find out why
I am in danger of losing myself
to anger.
