The Anger Within

I never used to be this angry,
 
I never lost it quite so quick 

To hold it in was sometimes handy

But now it just makes feel so me sick 

Little things could make me murder

Sometimes I question if I should

Lock me up before I go further

The dark in me will cause no good

I don’t see red and mist don’t form

 At the time I start to go 

The anger will always leave me torn

The reasons which I just don’t know

So away I go into a room

And there I’ll have to stay

Alone again with just my gloom

To keep myself at bay
