Anger, Anger

----------------
I lost my temper
and must have looked
like a fool just then
Not the first time
that I messed up
my equation with my friend

Whose fault is it?
Is now irrelevant
How I reacted has overridden
the actual argument
Moral high lost
Guilt is my predicament

There are times
in my anger I blurt out
grudges from the past
It serves little purpose
As it just goes to show
the bitterness in my heart

Chorus:Anger,  Anger
O you poisonous snake
You will by my nemisis
my festering heartache

There are times
When I hurt myself
or break some object
in my hands range
Glue and time can heal most
Accept a delicate soul
Who witnessed my rage

There are times
when the triggers
are actually internal
Hunger,  headache or
an insomniac spell
Which takes my tiny world
From heaven to hell

I worry that one day
I may go completely berserk
I may do something
Which will be irreconcilable,
Irrecoverable
and totally unforgivable

Chorus:Anger,  Anger
O you poisonous snake
You will by nemisis
my festering heartache
