Rage


I spend my life endeavoring to stay the noble path

My primal instinct pulls me to savagery

Anger seethes inside, making all around me wary

Scared of the lycan inside who violates all sanctuary

 

My rage engulfs me in a brilliant fury

No concern for the judgment of my actions by a jury

Red is all I can see for miles around

Focused on my energy, unable to hear a sound

 

The monster unleashed terrifying all I love

The blood on my hands irremovable gloves

My temperament as unstable as a Molotav

Like a switch in my head that goes on and off

 

Repulsed by my inability to control what I have become

Inside I feel nothing, I feel numb

I cannot be blamed for my unpredictability

But that cannot excuse the hostility
