Anger, Sorrow, No One, Others Poem by Jefrey Smith

Anger, Sorrow, No One, Others



ANGER was a man NOONE could understand
even though OTHERS tried SORROW could get inside ANGER holds to no purpose though NOONE gets below the surface
where ANGER keeps the peace that SORROW seems to release
ANGER seeks to escape from SORROWS empty gaze
while NOONE seems to hold ANGER in its place
And SORROW knows ANGER always forgets
that NOONE will keep OTHERS secrets
Though NOONE knows SORROWS claim for OTHERS it's not a game
When ANGER seeks control it's OTHERS that pay the toll
And ANGER can't avoid NOONES eyes when SORROW pushes OTHERS aside
it's all ANGER can seem to do when it let's SORROW through
ANGER doesn't know a future it's only SORROWS past that's clear
And when OTHERS hear ANGERS cry it's NOONE that seems to know why
But ANGER will never tell what SORROW knows so well
When ANGER sees NOONE cares That it's OTHERS who go through hell
And with NOONES blessing that leaves ANGER guessing
That what OTHERS hear in SORROWS crying Is from SORROWS lost love and ANGERS denying
But what exists in ANGERS mind Is that SORROW makes OTHERS blind And when NOONE trys to treat ANGER in kind
So that ANGER will let SORROW into the light
But then NOONE ever heeds the sight It's ANGER that OTHERS have to fight
While SORROW falls into the din ANGER remains and NOONE will win
But what NOONE gains Is that while SORROW remains
Its OTHERS who feels rejected When ANGER thinks he's neglected
So NOONE sees OTHERS while SORROW sees ANGER
And they have nothing in common except their own needs
And when they're tired or bored or want something to feel
they'll carry on no matter who bleeds
Because it's the only way they seem to be real
