Usefulness

Sometimes I am so very angry, and it is a good clean burn that straightens my spine against the world.

I will not sacrifice it to correctness or feel guilty in my selfishness.

I have worked too hard to be here where I am.

Sometimes I am so very angry it beats like a drum between my temples pulling my heartbeat along in time

Marching through the crap being flung from all sides.

And I will not give up and I will not be beaten and I will not be held down

Anymore.

Sometimes I am so very angry it holds me hostage until I cannot breathe clean air and am stung by the bitterness of it.

Even so, sometimes it is a good clean burn that straightens my spine against the world.
