Yelling and Accusation

S/he never has a
moment of hesitation
to shy from the instinct
of yelling and accusation.
S/he has a certain knack
for passing the buck
onto someone else
who has no luck.
S/he doesn't keep hidden
what s/he is thinking
as others' hopes and dreams
begin an immediate sinking.
S/he hurls the insults
and words that hurt
as if a grave
needs any more dirt,
but all the while,
while the others' is pain real,
it is something
that she feels.
The ones s/he channels
the anger towards
are only pawns
she tries to push forward,
yet s/he's beginning
to see so clearly
that all the screaming
is due to all the fearing.
When it finally hits home
is when she finally sees
nothing but a face
that she now buries.
The tears show now
where this anger has gotten her:
to a place of regret
where the real scars last forever.
