Enlivened right with boughs of rage, Through ****** thoughts and untouched page, These eyes glare on with secret fire Of anger, hindsight and dark desire. I see how my cards often lie, The same as poor and cast-off die; A triple fit of numbers unbalanced (They never quite Fit in To their slots.) Perhaps I've gone a-raving mad, Perhaps my mind's just gone a tad Too in-depth into mundane things, Making all the mole hills into kings. Perhaps these worries are overdone, In thin and fragile worry spun To exotic, antiquated feelings Of anger, envy, and revenge reeling. Perhaps we spin these fates too hard (They never meant To hurt My self image). But still, I feel my mind a-flame With hidden anger hard to tame To society's cold, repressing style Of crinkled eyes and facsimile smile. Try to hold it back but fail; It lands on them like a beached whale, Stinking, rotting, putrefying, Slowly, surely, swiftly dying. This rage I had has bubbled down Into nothing more than a thin frown, For held back, harsh, with iron words (Your secret dreams Are just Boiling curds.)
