mountain of anger

Fri, May 2, 2025

Will you let me be?
Will you let me live?

I am sitting,
On a huge mountain—
Of anger.

I carried this,
I was crushed under this,
Now I am on top.
Leave me alone.

Don’t touch me.
Stay away from me—
Even from my shadow.
It will turn us both to dust.
Leave me alone.

You don’t hear my scream.
You won’t hear it, either.
It would distance your pieces.
Leave me alone.

I would kill you—
In an instant.
I swear I could,
If only, it wasn’t my heart
In my hands.
