There are days when the storm gets stronger

The wind picks up and the rain slams against the earth

Where the thunder roars and anger flashes like lightning strikes

Times where the hurricane becomes harder to handle

And that is all I know

But most days I can contain the beast raging inside

I keep it at bay, not daring to poke the bear with a stick

Because one wrong move will set it off

And that is all I know

The simmering fire should not be set ablaze

As it can turn into raging flames with the right match

I keep it dim, hold it back from burning others

And that is all I know

But others have not seemed to learn such a lesson

They push buttons

Dig holes bigger than they should

Fidget with the wires of a ticking time bomb

When another tempts the beast with its final straw

There's no hope in gaining control

Because once unleashed, such anger causes a human to be blind to future actions

Red paints my vision, reactions are unable to be maintained

Fear strikes into others much more heavily when wrath is hidden by a curtain of kindness

And that is all I know
