Poetry

I am angry, very angry
Angry at the world
Angry at life
Angry at everything

I am bitter, very bitter
Bitter you’re not here
Bitter you’re no more
Bitter you’re gone

I’ve been angry, just angry
Angry I couldn’t stop time
Angry I couldn’t heal you
Angry I couldn’t save you

I’ve been bitter, just bitter
Bitter I had to let you go
Bitter I had to watch you go
Bitter I had to say goodbye

I’ve been angry, still angry
Angry because I miss you
Angry because I need you
Angry because I ache for you

I’ve been bitter, still bitter
Bitter I lost my role model
Bitter I lost my best friend
Bitter I lost my biggest fan

I am angry, very angry
Although you wouldn’t want me angry
Although you wouldn’t want me sad
Although you would want me happy

Can feel the frustration, the pain of losing someone close. I felt exactly this way when I lost my mom. I am sorry for your loss Mariam.

  My emotions have been all over the place. It’s nice knowing someone understands exactly how I’m feeling. Thank you!

The repetition just drives home the consuming nature of the emotions here. Well done.
