Rage

It doesn't take that much
To get serious as such
A wound from someone close
Is the fatal dose
Eruption of anger, then rage
Puts me in a cage
And, I either drink, or pop many a pill
To make it still
Dying is the only answer
Like a cancer
But, to ask for help from a friend
Brings me around that bend
And, when the rage is spent
I realize it was not meant

Thank you for your comments. It's been 4 yrs. since I've posted. I think I might start writing again.
