my rage was inherited
as much as it was taught
wrapped around my ribcage
like ivy on stone
i feel it weighing me down
like lead in my bones
i tried to push it down
but i was minutes from bursting
ive become a volcano
from a bloodline im cursing
i hate angry men
i think its projection
all the men who ever hit me
taught me about deflection
now they live in my head
the devil on my shoulder
I try to bite my tongue
but I’m holding down boulders
I have to protect the girl inside of me
from her own worst enemies
and I don’t have the privilege
to drown it out with ketamine
so my rage is inherited
it’s everything I hate
I told the townspeople to run
but I think it’s too late
