Only Hurting Yourself

Anger boils within like a pot A volcano just ready to explode Magma spews down onto the soul Yet can't realize how it hurts the heart Lashing out at those you love Brings pain and despair to them For words pierce through the heart Than a blade slicing the skin Take a step back Look at yourself That stares back In the mirror "What is wrong with you?" Life is filled with troubles Instead of taking them on You let them pile onto you Crushing you with problems Chipping away at your heart. Your only defense is anger The only weapon keeping you sane Brings only insanity to those close Making them fall into sorrow. You don't seem to realize Can't seem to grasp Don't comprehend your actions How much it hurts others. You can't dish out your problems At those who are trying to help you You don't seem to get how your anger Makes the people around feel Can't you realize what your doing Don't you have control of your life Unaware of the scars you put on them Even the scars that appear on you You need to get a hold of yourself Got to take the bull by the horns Look at yourself closely in the mirror Trying to tell you that your changing Changing into something that's horrible. You need to turn around Find what you need Check your feelings Learn to tame the beast. For in the end Hurting others without knowing Without taking responsibility for actions Your only hurting yourself.
