Sarra I have that anger for sure buy it is not as easy to be shaped in a piece of writing that would not clearly expose it all

Trevor Richardson You're smart to say so, Sarra. I think the trick is to not write from a soap box. A lot of new writers, myself included, start out that way, believing they will somehow save the world with the write phrasing. In truth, anything you set out to write that isn't motivated by simply telling a good story will always be bad. If you have something to say, the best thing to do is to just write someone who feels the same way as you. Show us that person, why they feel that way, and what they do because of it. The message comes through more clearly in their joy and their pain than in any angry rant. As with all story telling, you always know more than what you show, the same goes for that anger thing. It's fuel for your engine, it isn't the schematic you put on the page.
