MHA, Poem 1: Anger

ANGER

You will not be punished for your anger, you will be punished by your anger. ~Buddha

To you – it looks like shaking fists,

Trembling lips,

and raised voices seeping between the cracks in my teeth.

To me – it feels like burning veins,

Vicious shame,

and regrets coating my entire body like a second skin.
