Figurative language? the riddle says: "here, in this place", meaning the water is on a small container, supposdly people drink water in a glass of water but sometimes it doesn't happen that way.

How could anger be in a place where you *swallow* it and how is anger going to swallow you? also, anger doesn't has actual size, so how could it be more than you?

first you can swallow your emotions (including anger) by not letting them out. It's an expresion originated by the common related action of swallowing saliva.
second you could get swallow by an emotion if you loose control.
Third if it can be meassure it has a quantity and the riddle say "were I more" wich means greater quantity no exactly size

It´s water, think of a stream you can drink of, and think of an ocean that can swallow you up. think of the phrase: "...Like the ocean swallowed him...."
