They'll ask the question again
again, I'll reply the same
we treat this Q&A; as a game
well I do, Amen.

"Why do you think you're constantly angry?"
Hell, no, not that probing question,
don't they train you better than that?
They watch and wait for the answer.....

Here we go again, down the rabbit hole
Deep breath, and...
Silence, the same reply.
It frustrates them, they fidget, still expecting words.

Silence screams in places where volume just consumes.
I will not engage, I will not debate, I will not facilitate
their assumptions.
I'm not angry, I'm passionate, I think, but remain silent.

I rage, I do not engage.
I rage within. If I let the djinn out, he won't go back in.
I'd hate for you to feel the blade and blaze of my fury.
I'll leave my sanity for the jury to decide.

Just know this, I was mad when I closed the door.
I was crazy as I stabbed my mate.
But now I'm calm once more
And I refuse to communicate.
