Rage

What is rage, where does it come from? Why does it happen, why does it control you Rage It takes your mind, body and soul. It is its own demon, a volcano within Like the lava that flows from it Destroying everything in its path Destroying everyone in view Like the grapes of wrath The inner peace you once knew Is no longer valid Rage has come and stole your faith It has come to take your soul And in a flash the rage is gone Look at the damage it has caused No regret no remorse unless You take back your soul Your mind and your body Rage What is rage, where does it come from? Why does it happen, why does it control you It’s an explosion from deep within You don’t know its coming You can’t control it Rage It causes pain It causes injury It causes death It causes immoral thoughts You can’t change what it did You can only hope you never see it again It’s a battle within, a battle that can be won But who will win, you! Or Rage… g. Goodwin 6/07
