I’m a good kid
Never slacked off
Never talked back
Never cursed
Never drank
Never did drugs
Never partied
Never ever disobeyed
I was always so kind
Full of a powerful empathy
But then life happened
Everything started to crash down around me
A fiery rage was kindled in my gut
There’s so much anger
I don’t know where to put it
And I can’t lash out
So I push it in
So deep within...
And that’s why I’m like this
That’s why I push my tolerance
For stress
Until I panic
For pain
Until I see spots
For caffeine
Until my heart races and my hands shake
For sadness
Until I can’t contain my grief
I don’t hate myself
I’m just so angry
And have no where else to put it
