Raging Calm

Raging Calm

From the outside, all you can see is calm on my face
But down inside of me, I can feel that rage building within
The two paths that I try to balance each day
The feelings inside are ready to burst forth

The calm I try to project helps to hide the sinking of my heart
The rage that burns within now fighting that threatening despair.
Silence or wanting to scream out in frustration
The sadness threatened to take over and mark my face with tears

I thought these days were gone, no perhaps not gone
But I believed that I would have a better way
something inside that would help me through this
But now all I feel is that raging calm coming once again
