Control
Why do I get so angry?
I wanna hit you in the face!
I know it's not my position,
But I'd like to put you in your place.
My cheeks are getting red now,
My feelings I can not hide.
It will only be a moment before they come outside.
I try to hold them in my head.
"Take a second" I tell myself.
"Gently take your thoughts and lay them on the shelf".
My eyes are getting tighter,
I just don't know what to do.
I have to get control before I shoot my look at you.
My shoulders are getting heavy now,
My back is starting to straighten.
Be very careful, `cause in a moment
I can be very blatant.
It's not my fault at all you see,
I wish I had an answer.
I wish I knew what was wrong with me,
Each time it gets much faster.
The morbid and crazy things I feel,
The thoughts rush to my head.
I don't really mean what I am saying God,
But I often wish I were dead.
I want to stay here and live my life.
I'm trying to figure out how.
How do I control my feelings?
I have to learn right now.
