    inside of me

    look at my eyes
    can you see the fire
    the glowing embers the burn inside
    a loss of control that i cannot hide
    a rage that cant be denied


    anger pushes me to the brink
    controls my thoughts and what i think
    changes everything...
    inside of me


    how many times can i bite my tongue
    before i slice through
    how much damage will i inflict
    with thoughts i cant subdue


    how many words must i choke back
    gagging in my throat
    how much vomit must i ingest
    before i finally choke


    how many times can i walk away
    and keep my mouth shut
    how much longer until i break
    and i can no longer hold my tongue

    The eyes... another mystical thing... you can hide all you like, but never in your eyes... the gates, the windows of the soul... sees everything... I enjoyed the beginning of the last three verses... "How many times..." a powerful line, a powerful quesion most of us asked ourselves... what is our limit? Trying to control the anger built up inside... how much longer can you contain it before you snap? That is the question that I get when I read this... :) Thanks again. Great Work.

    yeah i know the always give me away... you can fake a smile and even a laugh at times but the eyes never lie...

    The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

    Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
