I scream. I shout. I yell and yell until my throat is sore and dry. My head is so full of nothing. It's completely blank, and yet it's so full it could burst. I can feel it growing in my stomach. It's rumbling like thunder. I can feel it burning, like fire in a tunnel. There's only one way out: through the hole that is my mouth.1
It can't hide any longer, and I can't stop it from escaping. It pours out of my mouth like water. I can feel it pushing my mouth open wider and wider, swearing and cursing, until there's nothing left to say.2
And then I collaspe on the floor, and sob my heart out.

This is what I think anger feels like. I hope you liked it!

I agree, I can't control my anger either, it stinks!! I usually don't cry though, unless I'm really angry. Anywho, great job, very descriptive, I love, keep up the good work =DD

oh so you are describing an emotion here. Good job. Emotions are hard to describe. They are meant to be felt. Good job.

Thanks!

I love the line you used: It's completely blank, and yet it's so full it could burst. That is so true and it is a great description. You wrote the feeling of anger well and used a good choice of words. It flowed well and packed a lot of emotion into a short piece. Well done and thanks for entering!
