Rage is a sly monster.
It’s more potent than doubt, more powerful than grief. It doesn’t creep into your mind in the middle of the night, like jealousy, you’re not born with it with it, like happiness. No, rage steals over you quickly, sweeping through your blood. It doesn’t creep, it pounces.
Rage, in many ways, is more human than the others. Unfortunately, the evilest of emotions hides in human form. Like the wraith that sheds its skin to inhabit another, rage changes its shape, presenting itself in the figure most appeasing to its viewer.
And perhaps worst of all, rage is a monster that makes itself appealing. It sweeps over the soul, and then roosts there. It twists itself into a tempting snake, coiling around your heart, offering you a shining apple of false comfort. It consoles you while quietly fueling the burning fire it has started, perhaps without the knowledge of its seemingly innocent host.
Rage will consume you, devour your soul.

You are 100% right, rage once let in, takes you over. It goes into you and taints your mind and soul. Rage is terrible. Rage is the one of the worst emotion, out of all, the reason being, that is leads to hate. Hate is by far the worst emoton right next hate. Rage is terrible because it leads to hate.
I really like this one. Partly because it's not five billion pages, but I also really like your descriptions. I particularly liked when you talked about the apple because that's something everybody can picture in their heads. I really did like your metaphor(?) about the snake, but I have always wondered why there is such negativity towards snakes.
