Sitting here in front of my computer
My Body shaking with so many repressed emotions
My pulse racing, my breathing hard as I struggle for control
Wanting to scream and shout my anger for the world to hear
Not daring to express myself any other way then with these words
Feeling my blood boil at the injustices done, the lies told
Knowing I dare not speak a word of my anger, even as I silently rage at the manacles of society
The propriety forced upon me, curbing my tongue
So I type, pounding the keys in my anger
Relishing the feeling of letting my rage spill into these words
Silently cursing the people who made me this way
Yet in my heart another emotion blooms
Love, for one person above all
The one who makes me whole
Tempering my anger, holding me in check
Keeping my volatile anger at bay
Holding me so close, making me see
My anger, though potent is better used for other purposes
So I rein myself in, not for them... but for him
Tucking away my anger, and plastering another smile on my face
