Yesterday

Yesterday,
Anger overcame me,
Consumed me,
Killed me,
Smoldered me,
And took some friends with it.

My only hope now,
Is that I can resuscitate them,
And bring the friendships,
Back to life.

Anger overcame me,
Killed me violently,
Took some friends,
And left me for dead.

Now is time,
Time to re-build,
re-mold, make afresh,
Salvage from the ashes,
Burned in the fire.
