Internal Wrath
there is a sudden wrath
my one supposed rage
but this is all i have
and it doesn't go away
an emotional hollow
resounds in my head
one voice tells me
i wish you were dead
well that voice is mine
distinctive as it is
my internal misery
intense pain that it gives
i'm huddled in a corner
worthless as i am
distressingly inadequate
my head a battering ram
arousing feelings of paranoia
a mental deterioration
not used to being like this
with strange hallucinations
i'm out of control
but i still ask the question why
what damn right do i have
to stay here and survive
sentence me to death
to stem this raging fire
i'm now prepared to weaken
to calm and to retire
but the fury just keeps going
when will it subside
to ease the sudden outbursts
to feel me slowly die
like a chemical reaction
just ready to explode
demanding all the negative
when i'm existing in this mode
