Anger

bubbling at the surface,
when I am not in control,
at the mercy of others
those who would harm me,
who would throw me in the pit…
 
my first instinct is to fight,
to pick up a weapon,
to run headlong into battle
to fight the good fight,
or at least I tell myself so…
 
at the mercy of others
my anger at the surface
my autonomy, my agency,
taken by another, fettered,
with me fighting at the bit…
