The Truth About Rage And Love
By Nikoo Saraue
Isn’t it funny how you can go from loving somebody unconditionally to hating them in a split second
Isn’t it funny how the rage can consume you
can completely devour you
can chew you up only to spit you back out
completely disheveled and naked
left bare with nothing but hate as your compass points north
what’s even funnier is how easy it is to allow it to
it’s funny how a single moment can be flipped 180
it’s funny how in a split second everything can change
what’s even funnier is how no one could have known, yet everyone acts accordingly, as if they knew this would happen
as if they were rehearsing
as if they were waiting for this moment subconsciously
isn’t it funny how rage works
it feeds you fear and mistrust
it lives off the darkest aspects of you
it lives off of your anger, your hatred, your every dark feeling
and just like at an orchestra
it pulls every dark feeling together into one coherent mass
and just like that, it’s like a wave of emotions have hit you and you’re too dazed to fully comprehend
isn’t it funny how rage does that to a person
they act like soldiers
like little marionettes
in a twisted play
a play called life
and isn’t it funny how life works
it’s funny how you can switch from rage to sadness in a split second
kind of like flipping the light switch
and just like that, your rage is gone
and what’s replaced it is something else
something deeper
it’s called sadness
it’s funny how you can keep flipping through your emotions
rage, sadness, happiness, guilt, anger, disgust, rage, love, rage, rage, rage,
and
love
because at the end of the day
it’s funny how love truly does trump all
it truly does
even if you’re blinded by the hate to see it
believe it
