I saw my anger speak!

When my words were confined,

And my thoughts suppressed,

And my fear being nurtured-

I saw my anger speak!

It spoke-

The words, no-one heard!

Drenching my lashes and heart!

My thoughts yelled-

And yet the silence remained!

Within me-

The agony stood-

Though no-one saw!

But, ssh!

I heard my tears!

As loud as they could be!

Roaring at the top of my mind!

And yet the silence remained!

My anger, like me!

Stood numb!

But, I saw my anger speak!

When my freedom of being myself-

Shackled!

A drop of hope!

Drying out on the concrete!

I saw my anger speak!

A thousand words of silence!

And a thousand phrases of pain!

And thousands of them!

Running silently again!

When I crawled to the corner!

My shadow-

Stood numb!

But, I saw my anger speak!

As silent as ever, it could be…
