Rage

Rage

Inside I rattle this old cage,
One that confines me with anger and rage.
Hurt and pain drive my heels,
To better days and better deals.
I won't be mad, my rage won't survive,
I'll kill it out and stay alive.
A different outlook I will take,
Better choices I will make
So now I smile as I turn the page,
I say hello to happiness and goodbye to rage.

That's so true,,,,people fail to acknowledge their own character flaws,but quick to blame others for theirs..
