Angry people

Hovering above me

Constantly

The fear of admonition

Of disappointment

The gaze of ire

Unfulfilled expectation

Awaiting them all

And the noise

The helicopter of anger

Turning round and round

The images of disillusioned eyes

Of controlled rage

Which in my mind keep emerging

A never-ending wave of sour faces

Surfing up and down

With no way out

No calm

Not even in the deepest corner of my sleep
