i am moving forward

I don't get along
with my own rage
mostly I disassociate
rather then engage

Still my rage is in here
looking for a breach
of all my multi intelligence
rage is the hardest to teach!

Let me take a moment
to navigate this maze
there's so much more to living
than some festering heated rage

No one need reminding
rage can be quite blinding
but I am not a complete slave
I will keep my rage
caged!
(and off your page)

I feel as if I’ve died
All these emotions
Destroying me from inside
Keeping things bottled up
I’m bound to erupt
I walk the ledge
Dipping my fingers in and out of reality  
Trying to find pieces of myself  
Trying to keep balance
Trying to find beauty
In my ashes
