Unearthed Anger

Sudden conflict stirs unwanted desire
of the stomach-turning acrid taste of heated ire
Paternal lessons taught young, but knowingly rejected

The feelings from inside, buried deepest, once inhumed
but have resurfaced - an emotional burden exhumed
An eventual symptom of years internally neglected

The ugly-rearing head of Anger brings with it disgust
of myself- of the exponential signs of personal mistrust
Today’s last straw, a venomous spat seemingly unexpected

Deeply-rooted seeds of virility had lain in wait
to seize upon ignored frustrations turned to hate
Bottled up repression does not lead to sins repented
