Quiet Anger

I see your quiet anger,
I feel your silent screams
Your insistent scolding
About things in your control
Your silent irritation;
Is not silent
It is loud and persistent
It drains me like a leach drains the blood from your body when its’ attached
It is not silent.
It is not quiet
It is loud and overwhelming
Your silent anger drains my soul

You will not do it this to me
Your anger will stay with you
Your quiet screams will be yours only
Own your anger
Define your frustration
Solve your problems; for they are yours not ours
You are in control of you,
You define you
Not me
You do not set the tone for my life, just yours
