An Underlying Evil

I held the burden of a grudge 

The fuse on this explosive hatred was short

I couldn’t throw it soon enough or far enough

Hatred lodged itself under my skin with a bang

It made my blood boil

I was afraid that removing the pieces 

Would hurt more 

Than letting it remain.

The heat of my blood dried my tears 

Slowly, I began to pick each piece

Until I was free

I can still feel bits

that I couldn’t reach,

But they keep me warm 

When everyone else is being cold.
