I’m angry at nothing
My temper is tempting
It stands laughing
In a corner but not hiding

Hand on my shoulder
It points blame
Holding my mind close to the flame
It thinks this is a game

Worth never feels close
Anger and sadness
Played monkey in the middle
Threw my love in a hole

It’s like I’m in a losing battle
My anger on one side
Myself running endlessly with the flag
Breathlessly stumbling forever

“I want out” I scream
Hatred laughed in my face
“You can’t leave now” as Hatred smirked
I cry, “This must be a dream”

He backed at that thought
I screamed again and he scowled
Now he hides in a corner
But he’s banished from my mind
