RAGE

Walking along

Keep eyes to the ground

Counting my steps

Calming me down

Always on edge

Until a safe place

 

No fear for myself

But those I may meet

That the rage that’s inside me

Won’t be released

Has been there as long

As I care to remember

 

Catch me off guard

That’s when it’s too late

Can happen so fast

Can’t always control it

 

You’re too quiet some say

But they don’t know

How hard it is keeping control

 

The comfort I feel

When I’m with my family

 I think that they know

How hard some days can be

 

Over the years

Some days a torment

Hard work keeping calm

I really need rest

 

Heart pumping in chest

Watching the clock

Is it time for home yet

 

That’s where I feel calmest 

Surrounded by family

Just sitting no worries

How life is meant be

 

Life’s not all bad

Some days are a battle

Have lost a few

But most I have won

With the help from my wife

My reason to go on
