Rage
Not chosen to be
Only now do I see
Through the torment I lived
Not knowing how I managed
Temper flared onto others
Taking away all I offered
Repercussions of a life insane
Reminding me of the source of my pain
Needing to put all of it away
Not wanting my life to stray
Struggling constantly with my own sanity
To stay alive and in control of my vanity
