I can feel the anger as it rises 
Rendering me helpless at  times
As if the moon of darkness rises 
As it has done so many times 
How many times can I suppress it 
And totally  ignore my angel
With out lashing  out and being explicit
Continuing to be in the heat of anger
I strive to be calm and collected 
When all along I want to explode 
To always be sen yet  rejected
Feeling alone and completely  cold
I want to scream and tell you 
"I am who I am leave me be"
I live for me and not you 
Why can't you just let it all just be
Must  you  harass me so 
Or do you  enjoy the  torturing 
The endless questions or things you want me to do 
Why don't you spend more time listening
I tell you time after time again
I try  my  best to tell you 
That I am finally happy  again 
And you are making me angry too
I want to be free
To enjoy life on my own
To totally be all of me 
I want to live like the wind is blown
Untamed and wild but  so  free
Can I  be so selfish in life
To want better for me 
But it is  my life
