Buried Rage Part 1 the Story of My Life
The volcano currently lies in a dormant state
A superficial interpretation might lead one
To believe that there is no threat of danger
But, do not become a victim of this deceptive illusion
For you must exercise restraint when in her mighty presence
Because when she is reminded of the torment inflicted upon her
By thoughtless words and actions directed towards her
By a chauvinistic member of the male species
The vexatious emotions buried deep down inside her
Result in the instigation of her volatile rage
Causing fiery lava to explode from within her
And burning anyone who dares to remain
When you look at her
You see a woman
But, a six year old little girl dwells here
Whose childhood consists of filthy violations
Inflicted on her by the one who is
Ruled by sadism and ruthlessness
Whose truculent actions have desecrated her soul
Making it soiled and dirty
From the secrets and shame that she is forced
To keep hidden for her tormentor
While he feeds off her blood that is left
From her wounds that have yet to heal
Over the years her burden has expanded immeasurably
To include lovers, boyfriends and husbands
That have all inflicted their own wounds
And demoniac abuse on her
Leaving scars that remain with her
No one betrayal left her despondent
One by one each added to the next
Until it accumulated into a gargantuan mass
Leaving her in a state of lugubriosity
For which she can find no escape
