Letter To Anger Poem by Nicola Thoner

We're sisters
You and I
Illegitimate children of rage
Born of the same unfulfilled desires
And potent frustrations.
Holding onto life by bitter thread from sour times.
We're sisters
You and I.

The same taste for vengeance
poisoning these veins.
Sleek,
Slippery,
Seductive,
Strong.
The same heated fury
Boiling our blood and craving
indulgent isolation.
Burning from the inside.
Destructing in thought
No room to scream.

And some girls want love
And some girls want pain
But you and me my love
Are destined for blind hate of the purest form.

Will you ever let me go?

We may not talk much
But we protect each other's rage like sisters do.
Laughing and running down the street
And we call out to victims 'welcome to the family'
Always free to leave but for the choice that keeps them warm in our arms.
God doesn't want them, the devil won't buy
But we still do.
