Agression

anger, energy, drive, desire, determination, motivation...

I can't come to term with mine and so
I see it in others
I flee when it's sent back at me
time and again I have escaped
time and again I've come into hiding

tonight
these simple words punched me in the chest
sheared across by a sharp blade
lungs collapsed

been awaken brutally
to a truth
lying just below the surface that
I didn't want to face
