sit still
all tied up alone
cold red eyes
solidified in rage

if you can reach
punch the wall
kick the bed
roar destruction

bleed pure hatred
break all your bones
become concussed
beat it out

cry acid tears
of sick anger
explode forever
scream

no metaphors
no similies
no symbolism
I Hate You.

No ambiguity either! Should 'concust' in the tird stanza be 'concussed'? As one who tends towards dark poetry, I like the feeling of anger and hatred, but I don't feel the tense body - on edge, the shortness of breath, as all the body's resources are given over to this outburst. Perhaps its just me. In any case, a good effort, and I hope it makes you feel better.

Bad day, and i just wrote it in the upload work bit, no spellchecker. In fact really bad day, that's why it's just an outburst. Thanks for your comment.

Blimey, powerful stuff Rai. Don't happen to agree with Fearless on this... I do feel the 'tense body' - it is shouting and screaming at me. It speaks clearly, violently and movingly.

I liked this. I can feel a temper but not a strong hatred, that comes from being in the real world and have seen much. Comes with age as well.A great effort well done. xxAlice

Rai - this really reaches off the screen to grab the reader by the throat! Powerful, indeed! I like the very matter-of-fact style in which it's written - it makes it all the more intoxicating.

This is good, because the focus of the hate is ambiguous. Is it you, or someone else either way it works well.

Now, this I like a lot Rai. In this poem you maintain that simplistic style but use it to full effect. This is great - really gripping and raw.
