Amygdala
Tense eyes focus straight
Lights flash by, movement make.
Dazzle, horn, sounds cracks concentration
Adrenalin surge, dark anticipation
Expectation turns the anxiety key
Why the hell is he doing this to me?
Drive faster, risk take, fool make!
Anger overtakes, rational thought dissipates
Tense hold on steering wheel
Expletives fly, braced to kill
Car overtakes with reckless intent
Screaming men, enemies make
Cuts in front, hit the brake
Come to a halt, anger takes
Out of car shouting, shoving, pushing
See red.
Just a second it takes
Amygdala in brain overtakes
Murderer, rRoAaGdE makes.
