Temper Tantrum
I felt the fury rippling inside
Trying to contain it was like holding back the tide
To unleash the wrath, the fury, the power,
to see my enemies beg on their knees and cower
I wanted it more than anything
No, right now I wanted it more than everything
I was tired of bottling it up
Tired of acting and playing the grown-up
I was through with being “mature”
Being myself I would much rather prefer
Than putting on a show
And trying to be someone I don’t know
If I added just one more thing to my load
I was sure I was going to explode
Nothing could stop me- I was going to blow
And I didn’t care what the destruction would look like tomorrow
