Raging

My heart is raging….

I’m raging, churning, foaming
Driven WILD...
Incensed, appalled, angered
Filled with BILE

I’m savage, delirious, raving
Mad
Barbaric, feral, tempestuous
BAD

I’m tossing, storming, brewing
About to pound
Crashing, smashing, demolishing
Declared Unsound

I’m rampageous, furious, livid
Untamed
I’ll batter, break, uproot
And upbraid

I'll take you, shake you, hound you
Demand
Seize you, posses you, undress you
Command

Unleashed, unchained, unbroken
Free
Beware, take care, watch out…
FOR ME!
