My face hardens, I throw a dark glare
By God, I’m not scared of anyone
And the greatest torture, I can bear

So why, when I look into the mirror
Do I see a face so sweaty and white?
I refuse to accept the fact
That scared face is not mine

For I must’ve by now, through the years
Learned my lesson, the most important one
For only what you do not fear
Only that can be outdone

So why now do I look like a frightened little girl
When one little memory comes back
I’m supposed to be stronger than anyone
The advantage of a heart gone black

I’m starting to resent myself
Talking to myself, I feel my anger swell
God dammit your tougher than anyone
Don’t you come out of this shell.

My anger explodes now
The broken glass falls to the floor
Staring at the jagged peices
That scared little girl isn’t there anymore.

in my experience where's there's anger, there's usually fear at the back of it, to me this poem shows the flitting between the two emotions and fear of vunerability when anger is put to one side. This poem reminded me of my own experiences in life, I enjoyed reading it, all the best - Taffi
