What is wrong with me?
What’s going on?
I feel so free!
But once I notice it, it’s gone.
It flows into my fists,
I’ve never felt so strong.
Who would’ve known such strength exists.
But where does it really belong?
Fury is blinding,
and I’m losing control.
The pent up rage is finally unwinding.
And now it’s taking its toll.
Anger is tearing me apart
and my sanity has begun to depart.

The author's comments:
After 17 years of being pushed around, mocked, criticized and ignored, everything occasionally just pours out. I wrote this on a day that I just couldn't take anymore.

"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."
