Cruel Rage

Pushed and fallen apart… Worn the brave face While I sweat in my heart In this rapid-paced race I survived the storms you whirled inside me I arrived complete in dawn's light delightfully Deleted the lack of passion progress I felt back then Again, you never really cared, so I hide in my den That is disappointing you stole away my inner pride in me, The healthy pride that was the confidence that was a sea A refuge to my soul and my everything…my everything…oh dear You force fed me cruel rage, just in case you weren’t aware, I fear You weren’t there, not even a hair I still want to hold on, one more dare… Your touch got cold and who knew We would end up here, stuck like glue Remember, I have known you for years Wish I could fully forget the struggles we faced, we faced Trace me upon your memory's reflection Don’t reject me and bury me under, feeling so disgraced You can’t break me by your cruel rage You can’t hurt me because I’m leaving I am not your pet in this screwed-up cage Sorry, hon, but I am done with grieving Saying my goodbyes to your lies Bidding my farewells to time flies Ignoring your calls and lullabies Your anger and abuse…slowly…dies… Wet explosions spill out of my eyes vastly Won’t look back and don’t try to find me Be very strong Because I will You’re wrong About me still Frozen in bed Dealt with dread I smile and smack away the fretful frowns I’ll run the mile and kick down my downs Burning the letters in my mind That rewind your cruel rage Thank you for leaving me behind... That backtrack my dejected page There are many other pages to cover Eventually, I will recover From your cruel, heartless rage Under cover, but released from your ribcage Rinsed away the raindrops from bitter clouds, oh blessed curse While guilt overflowed immensely, but I seek tragedy in reverse… Far, far away from your cruel, heartless rage Under cover, but unleashed by spiritual sage… Unleashed by your cruel rage… Release me, unforgotten ribcage… If not, darling, wait… God will, it is my fate Shelter me, Spiritual remedy… Ah, but that cruel cage Cut down that awfully mad page

"Burning the letters in my mind That rewind your cruel rage Thank you for leaving me behind... That backtrack my dejected page". You are a master of the word arrangement, choice, and poetic justice, JW. Well done!
