It's happened again, it rushes in
I feel it coming on
such a simple, little thing
for some reason seems so wrong

It hits me hard, I start to shake
my insides set aflame
no, not now, just go away
I feel such lowly shame

I rage so much, I feel as though
I could kill someone
I clench my fists, and try to stop
I'm like a loaded gun

I need to be alone right now
so I'll excuse myself
please dont worry, or be upset
just tending to my health

It "set me off", something so small
you'd never understand
you want to know, but I cant tell
in a while I'll hold your hand

I'm sorry for this, but I cant say
what put this "evil" in me
It's such a "nothing" little thing
that even I cant see

I cannot hurt you, I cannot try
I dont want you to know
so let me leave for just a bit
my thanks will surely show.

Your emotions in this piece are made loudly.

I am like a loaded gun...is that not power or what? Well Done

Indeed, Rage seems to be an entity of it's own, doesn't it. Great piece.

Thank you all very much... Still cant say why or how this happens, just know that every once in a great while it "sneaks" up on me. Thank you again

Yes, it seems that rage can sneak up on you and you don't even know what trigers it. Such little things can make a person angry. It's being human I guess.
