The Anger Inside Me

The Anger Inside Me

 

F J McCarthy on Feb 12, 2009

 

 

Where does it come from, this anger inside.

 

It washes over me like a tidal wave.

 

Makes me feel like a caged beast.

 

Ready to strike from out of my cave.

 

Try to control it can get so hard.

 

When people are pushy and mean.

 

Sometime I feel I could rip off their heads.

 

reach down their throats and rip out their spleen.

 

I feel like something has taken me

 

and nothing can calm me down

 

I look for my antagonist, there’s no-one here but me.

 

So I scream yet I can’t hear a sound.

 

Inside I boil from this rage.

 

That Just comes to me like the wind.

 

So I hammer my anger onto this page.

 

Til my sanity comes again.
