You don't see
the anger
inside of me

How can you
not see?
It's
right
here.

Boiling inside of me,
bubbling over
my surface

Red, hot
anger

I want to just yell so
loud
so
that
everyone
will
hear
me

WHY CAN'T YOU
HEAR ME?

I'm yelling
inside
so loud

How can't you
HEAR ME?

TELL ME WHY

Everyone acts like
I'm happy,
like I'm not mad
at anyone
or anything
at all

But I am.
I hate you,
I hate everyone,
I hate everything

Why will people
listen to me cry,
when I really
just need them to
listen to me
