An Expression of Anger
Hey everybody, only a couple of people have read this one (which I guess is true of all my poems), so I thought I'd share with everybody. Let me know what you think, like/don't like, think I can improve.
I don't have a title for it, but it is really just an expression of how I felt at the time, which was angry. So here it is: I shall be lit with fire And I shall burn so brightly That they will turn away From my face in fear, In awe, In wonder, At the pulsing power Of my human heart That screams and crackles In red, orange, yellow, green, blue Hot blue flame. Oh how it shall scream The tongues of saints and sinners In one tone of raw truth: That though all worlds collide And die down in shame, I shall be recalled, I shall be recalled, By survivors, Or new life, As the man who burned so brightly. Recall me, you damned fools! Recall me! _________ I'm not really sure anymore about that line naming all the colors of the flame. Do you think I should take it out, and just leave "hot blue flame"?

Well, yeah Lief, I actually felt this
![]() The result, I hope, is a poem about, yes, anger, but also bitterness and pride. I guess I felt kicked around, and so naturally desired a place above all others, and because I felt kicked I desired to kick back, hence a face that inspires fear, awe, and wonder. Things weren't going my way, so I wanted everything to go my way, I wanted to impress, to shock, and stand out as the utmost importance in a new world after universal death and destruction. The man who burned so brightly. I think that's honest, uncensored anger right there. At least for me. But this is how I felt, not how I thought on any intellectual level. Ungoliant, what was really different about it? Not to challenge that opinion at all, but just to know where you're coming from. What struck you as very different?

Lizra, thanks. And yeah, "recalled" is synonymous with "remembered". Like when you say "I don't recall that,"="I don't remember".
I think I might have used "recall" rather than "remember" because it fits better as a word in the end. More climactic, I guess. ![]()

It just seemed extremely intense. That's why I asked. It felt like utter rage, fury beyond words (obviously only nearly beyond words
