A Trapped Angel
You are a sneaky sly fox
Trapping me inside a box
Of lies I do not deserve
What ever gave you the nerve
To treat me with such creulty
When did I become the
Punching bag for your aggression
You need to be taught a lesson
About feelings being bruised
It is not kind to be used
As an outlet for behavior
That will simmer as you savor
The victory of being mean
You really need to clean
Up your act before you find
What its like to be unkind
As I break out of this prison
That for years you've kept me in
Full of revenge and desire
Now you will be under fire
As my temper starts to grow
You could feel every blow
Of the hurt, sorrow and pain
Buried deep inside my brain
All the memories coming back
Of hurtful words--untruthful lies
You were clever to disguise
More and more I feel glow
Of a fire down below
Deep inside that wants to take
You to the hell that made me break
I am on the very brink
Of bad actions--but I think
I am not on the same level
I don't want to be the devil
This free angel will not hurt
Or treat anyone like dirt
So I just give you a warning
To make sure to start turning
Your lying ways around and fast
One day you will get the wrath
Of one more victim you have trapped
With no control once they have snapped
