Rage

 Rage

The fire that sears and burns down everything in its path

The scalding pain that doesn't go away

The fire burns and dies out in some time

But what about all that it burnt?

No soothing air can ease the pain that the trail of rage left behind

You delve ,dig and burrow deep into the dark abyss

While your swim in the images of the layers that have burnt you over the years

The so many incidents that scarred you which you push down deep but the force themselves

upward and suffocate you faster

than they were buried

You keep swimming ...

Sometimes losing strength

Sometime you manage to bring yourself up

The calm that prevails after the rage of storm

The silence that's deafening

The thoughts that are brimming at the edge of your mind

The tears that threaten to fall over the rim of your eyes

The hard effort you take to show that all is well
