Anger
I try so hard to control my temper
I know I should not speak in anger
And all self control seem to waver
Can't take it that you're with another
I know at times I cause you pain
Sometimes I think I have lost my brain
I am still tied with jealousy's chain
My heart still singing a sad refrain
Every time I know that you have to rush
I just can't help but feel so crushed
My temper runs away in a dash
Self control turns to nothing but ash
The pain just causes me to shudder
But it's just caused by my soul's hunger
From this jealousy I try hard to recover
Try to control, to hold back my anger
For ATP
