Truth

Reject Formality
Remove your touch
Rehabilitate understanding.

You judge me,
You know me not.
You claim privileges.

Threats to remove happiness
 Take back words
Turn around.

Discriminate against me
Destroy my heart
Deceive my trust.

Revoke my choice
Regain power
Release my soul.

Anger envelopes
Rage consumes
Spite develops

Can't you see you're the reason why I am unhappy?
Can't you realize that you've made me angry?
Its definitely all down hill from here.

Continue to cause me grief
my bags are close to packed,
I'll leave to the arms of my love.

I turn 18 this year, my mother knows that I've been handling myself for a long time, and she has never tried to control me before, therefore she shouldn't try.

Spicy!!!

Wow I love your poem's tempo .. You know how cool it is when you can read a poem out loud and actually feel the anger .. very nice! Like hot, spicy mochachas on a cold day =) P.S I totally relate to the whole power / control thing .. eek parents - I'm also turning 18 this year -- and these parental people of mine truly know how to inspire anger management poetry ;)
