Altered Beast

Always a shock
when I wake up and
anger is sitting on my chest
His eyes and her voice
Smooth and heavy
Smells like emptiness and
tastes like sulfur

No matter that I've
Gained all I lost
Lost all I gained
Anger just sits there
It doesn't regret

I either stare it down
shout it away
stomp it out
or convince it
it makes no sense
Anyway
it just can't stay

Joy can't stay either
when I wake up and
joy is swirling in my body
I know it will leave and
I know nothing
Smells like wishes and
tastes like melted butter

Don't love too much
need too much
believe or trust too much
Give the dazzle camouflage
I am an altered beast
