Rage

There’s so much you hold inside

So much that you don’t confide

Outward smiles and inward screams

Reflecting on your broken dreams

When it’s all pent up, it takes a toll

And you feel the fire within your soul

Your blood starts to boil deep within

But you can’t let out what you’re holding in

It may be your family, even your friends

And it feels like it will never end

People love to tell you to how to deal

And how you’re supposed to feel

They tell you that you must stay strong

Because reacting is apparently wrong

Nothing good can come from violence

So just absorb and deal in silence

Keep throwing punches in your mind

And destroy the ones being so unkind

Let your mind take pleasure in the pain

Of all the fiends driving you insane

Just hold back with all your might

Drive out your demons and continue to fight

Just take a breath and control your rage

And don’t let the monster out of its cage
