Write an acrostic poem about an emotion (must be at least four letters long—for example: love, hate, anger, happiness, anxiety, fear, jealousy, etc.)

Giving into it, it ripples through my body and fires though my fingertips
Exploding as I stumble, seethe and stutter your name
Rage uncontrolled, it cannot be stopped. You only smirk.
