I am Mad! Mad at myself for believing in others Mad at others for letting me down. Sometimes I wish I would be vain, wrathful, selfish I sometimes want to fullfil my inner desires. Sometimes I want to drink that Hatred poison Be consumed by greed And every vice that comes with, I confess! For it is not fair Why must I suffer the lash of a whip Of which I do not deserve? Or do I deserve everything that comes my way, good or bad? Why do I come to you holding my plate as you prepare a meal? I am not on my knees. Is it because you say you will feed me And so I take comfort knowing I will eat But really you do not consider me a portion of your food So I am left hungry. A hungry man is an angry man. I have ill will towards you now. I wish you drop dead on the table Just so I can finish your meal. Why do you torment me so? As you sit there stuffing your face until you struggle to chew You pretend as though I do not exist. I ask for a small bit You say there is not enough. It's never enough for you I hope you choke on your meal, you Glutton! But I dont really mean it. You are in the hands of the Lord, your fate is His decision. I chastise myself for being so gullible For having no dignity And having swallowed only my pride Letting it happen. Why should I suffer in your hands As you crush me with a squeeze as you please? I feel satisfaction at the hands of my own self infliction thank you So I whip myself until I bleed... And bleed...and Bleed!... But not a single drop let And not a single tear shed. I smile when I am done For I have forgiven myself. I thank you This will never happen to me again. I am Stronger and Wiser now. Now I shall fend for myself in the Hands of the Lord.
