Am I Angry? Poem by Pat Raia

Am I Angry?



Am I
angry?
You bet
I am -
I'm angry
because
I have
to fight
just
to stay
alive
I'm angry
because
I may
not win
that fight -
I'm tired
because
the tremors
and
the nightmares
keep me
up
at night
And
I'm exhausted
from
saying that
I'm just
fine -
Finally
I'm really
really tired
of your
failure
to understand
why
I'm so
damn angry
