I stare at the cruel beast in my head with my mind's eye, He blocks out the sun, making himself look like a total fright, The muscle in my chest grow tight, He turns me against everyone I've ever loved, however he might, I feel the pressure on my relationships growing to a painful strain, It causes an indescribable pain, He tries to wrench me away from everything I love, he pours down reasons like rain, I stare at the beast, as he transforms into a reasonable person, trying to best for me, trying to separate me from my pain. But deep inside I know he's wrong, I turn and walk out of the fog, That has clouded my vision for years, I now know that the beast, is anger, and he I now know is a fraud. He feeds me lies and hateful half-truths written on harmless little paper wads, sneaking them into my mind, oh so innocently. I look now as I escape the fog and look into the sky, bright as the diamonds inside my loved one's eyes.

Anger
I stare at the cruel beast in my head with my mind's eye, He blocks out the sun, making himself look like a total fright, The muscle in my chest grow tight, He turns me against everyone I've ever loved, however he might, I feel the pressure on my relationships growing to a painful strain, It causes an indescribable pain, He tries to wrench me away from everything I love, he pours down reasons like rain, I stare at the beast, as he transforms into a reasonable person, trying to best for me, trying to separate me from my pain. But deep inside I know he's wrong, I turn and walk out of the fog, That has clouded my vision for years, I now know that the beast, is anger, and he I now know is a fraud. He feeds me lies and hateful half-truths written on harmless little paper wads, sneaking them into my mind, oh so innocently. I look now as I escape the fog and look into the sky, bright as the diamonds inside my loved one's eyes.
