Contempt for words I do not say
Despise for things that go array
Where anger never solves the pain
And yet I’ve no way to contain
The situation well at hand
The feeling that I am damned
Serving out some prison term
The crackling sound as my skin burns
This fire burning inside out
Contaminates my thoughts without
The resolution that I need
To calm the nature which I bleed
Solemn life I seek for rest
These tensions seem to suit me best
And now with anger easing out
Leaving me in so much doubt
Were all these words I used in vain
Or have I lost control.

Hey lovie...control is just an illusion anyway...but, I won't assume you are feeling what you are writing, I just hope you are well and you know, I am here if ya need an ear...Powerful write, rich!
