The Sonnet

The Symbol of Anger, written by Courtney Olmstead

I've been seeing guns in my dreams lately
"Who feeds the flame," I ask, "who feeds the flame?"
Anger and aggression, the cause of thee
Now haunted by the whispers in my brain
When I cannot purge a single tear drop
A block is formed between cause and effect
And everyone says, "Now, you have to stop"
So weak and frail, you never could reflect
I must disengage before I explode
Now breathe deep, little girl, and let it go
Or you'll miss your chance to kiss the sweet toad
The next time you dream, don't let the guns show
If that, you may easily go insane
With truth from your heart, you are not to blame
