Locked Away

I am sitting in a room with walls at all my sides,
Starring at the ceiling like I was hypnotized.  
Wanting to talk but the walls are much to thin,
Longing to get out but I think they locked me in.
What had I done to be locked so tight away?
To tell the story right I will start with yesterday.
Leaving work early to surprise my wife,
but when I arrived at home I got the surprise of my life.
Overwhelmed in anger I grabbed for my gun,
Kicking in the door to bust up there fun.
So now you know what I’ve done to be locked in this place,
I took out all my anger when I shot him in the face.
That man probably didn’t think that he would loose his life,
But he probably should have thought of that before he screwed my wife.

Oh wow...I felt the rage in this one. The angst is raw and I hope this didn't really happen, but if it did, I'm surprised. Anywho, great job nevertheless. 7 for brilliant lines throughout......

Wow!! Alot of rage bursting in flames through this write, and the consequences one would have to face when it is all said and done. POWERFUL!!
