Sitting with bunched fists Enraged with anger With nowhere to send it No one is to blame I'm the fool, just me For letting things hurt I look into the darkness for answers Nothing dwells there Maybe shifting shadows Morphing into mocking faces Blood pumps past my eyes I see red, I see red, I see red Pull up my hood, block out sounds! Turn away, stop looking at it all... I sit in silence, but for the thud, thud, thud My beating heart, like a drum Perhaps my brain will burst with anxiety Drip away with unnatural calm and grace Coiled, tense, ready to pounce It all turns inwards, scratches at my eyes You have embarrassed yourself! But it passes I'll be soothed What was that brain, so unnecessary
