Change Is Needed

Anger burns within
I try to hold it down
I know I can not win
My anger holds me down

I hold my toungue
To keep from yelling
Yet i am still young
And my anger is telling

It tells of your lies
And all that you've done
It yells to the skies
Yet you think that you've won

You cannot win 
A battle I won't fight 
You might be my kin
But what you do isn't right

You cannot continue
Down the path you have made
And for all that you do
A price must be paid

Do not keep doing this
To you and to me
Or I'm afraid you will miss
What you can't see

My anger may boil
But I will still fight
Because I don't want to spoil
You seeing what's right
