Fury
shedding the shadows of anger to embrace the light of self love.
I feel angry inside,
At what I’ve allowed to pass,
I’ve let others take advantage,
And that leaves me feeling crass.
I feel anger toward myself,
For giving so much away.
When I love, I do it fiercely,
But people leave when it’s tough,
They say they care for me,
But their words don’t mean much.
They cross my boundaries,
Even when I beg them not to,
They act as if I’m invisible,
Like they can’t see all I go through.
I pour my heart into people,
But get back just a fraction,
I give them my very best,
But get only half of that.
I am kind and gentle,
But I get called too soft,
Too fragile for this life,
I’m told to stop reacting,
That I take things too much to heart.
I get offended too quickly,
They say I’m too sensitive,
When I ask them to respect me,
I feel defensive, resentful.
I’m tired of feeling this way,
Can’t someone see me, truly?
I’m more than what I offer,
And I hope they’ll come to see.
I need someone to see past,
The care and the giving,
And find the person within me,
That’s just needing affection.
I know I’m not perfect,
I make mistakes like anyone,
I hope to find someone who sees,
The real me, through and through.
Someone who takes the time,
To know who I really am,
Not just the person they see,
The one they think I am.
I am tired of people,
Who leave when it gets hard,
I need someone who’ll be there,
No matter where they are.
I need someone who values,
My heart and all I give,
Someone who truly knows me,
And will be with me to live. Someone who will see past,
All my gifts and my giving,
And see the real me inside,
The one who needs forgiving.
I know that I’m still learning,
To love and accept myself,
But it would be easier,
If someone else did as well.
I am on this journey,
To know who I truly am,
I hope to find a kindred soul,
Someone who understands.
Now it’s time to reclaim,
What others have taken, I say.
It’s time to regain my power,
To stand up and be true,
To take back what I’ve given,
And to give to someone new.
I am still angry inside,
But now it’s time to grow,
To find the light within myself,
The love I need to know.
I am worth the kindness,
That I’ve always given out,
I must find that love within,
To make my doubt shrivel and pout.
I will not let anger reign,
In the place where love can be,
I will embrace myself,
And love myself, totally.
I am more than the anger,
I feel deep down inside,
I will nurture myself,
To find peace with my pride.
I will let go of the past,
And move toward the future,
I will find my happiness,
And let go of the pain,
I will find the joy within,
And never feel it’s vain.
I will embrace the lessons,
I’ve learned along the way,
I will let go of anger,
And greet each new day.
The light within myself,
Will guide me on my way,
It will lead me to a future,
That is filled with grace.
It will show me the way,
To accept and to love,
I will let go of anger,
To let my heart fly like a dove.
I will be gentle and kind,
To myself and others, too,
I will find my happiness,
And share it, me and you.
This is my path to joy,
I will follow every day,
I will find the light within,
And it will light the way.

I know that this poem is different from my usual content, and it was difficult for me to write, as it was a reflection of difficult emotions.
However, I believe that sharing it can help others who may be feeling the same way.
Anger is not the end, and we can all move beyond it.
Remember, God loves you, all of who you are, everything that makes you, you.
xo, sparkles.✨
