Silent Rage

Silent Rage

Fighting back the tears that threaten to spill down my face
The anger rose inside of me as I struggle between wanting
To fall to my knees or scream at the night like a defiant animal

The years taking their toll on me, emotional turmoil deep inside and fuelling me
Each step backwards from the assaults on my senses and unkind words
The belittling and words that make me wish to end it the pain of it all

The will to fight is the only thing keeping me here
The need to fall or stand my ground against what is before me
The silent rage that I keep inside and use to keep me alive
