Why do people succumb to anger?


thoughts

It feels so easy to slip into its grasp. But at the same time, from a distance, it looks quite stupid. Aren't we overreacting? What's the point of hitting one another, yelling at one another, going to war with one another? Yet when are up close, immersed in anger, we feel nothing but blissful rage, if that makes sense. Sweet revenge empowers us. Makes us feel as if we are at the top of the world. Maybe it is a survival mechanism. But I sure wish it weren't.
espoir, désespoir. lequel gagnera?

false hopes
false promises
shatter quite easily
beneath the demon is revealed

i cower from him
wanting to run away into reassuring arms
but where are they?

faux promises
faux hopes
faux faux faux

but no matter what
however irrational
i still have hope
there is goodness yet
but disguised
in the form of the demon

disillusion
disappointment
strike the heart
but forget not to remember
the demon was once a lamb
though the demon may not become a lamb once more
he might return half-way
with a maturity
that only comes with knowledge and experience

i pray that that day may come soon.
in the meantime,
je demeure.
