Anger Becomes Me

Still playing with this a little, maybe another song idea

Do I forsake or embrace a change

Lose my sanity, become deranged

And from myself become estranged-

Will it even let me choose

I don’t have anything else to lose

 

I will free my rage and hate

And enter once more a brand new state

Let it burn away the better part of me

And stand alone in perpetuity

Free from pain, and shame, and misery

 

Anger is simple, cleansing, and pure

Never to back down or be unsure

Sink inside, give it control

Let it fill me, make me whole

And do away with the fragile soul

 

Consumed by fire

My inner desires

Set the monster free

And forego the good in me

 

No more Jekyll, I am only Hyde

The human within has died

The beast inside unleashed

Untamed, forever stained

Free from psyche’s chains

 

Embrace this new demonic form

And look upon the outer world with scorn

Waiting, ripe and ready to be torn

Pluck out innocence to crush underfoot

All bets are off, all points are moot

And I’ll shed, shred, this human suit

 

And now, with absence of soul

I am once again made whole

Undirected, uncontrolled

Free to satisfy my needs

To do as I please

Willing and able

To bring this world to its knees

 

I am the monster in my mirror

I am the demon in my view

Never more to ponder

This is my form true

Pushing out and bleeding through

Until this hollow shell should come unglued

And Saint Anger comes breaking through

Unluckiest card, worst in the deck

I am he, noose around my neck

 

Fueled by hate and rage

No longer trapped

Free from my cage

Anger becomes me

Or I become he

This was actually good. You like winding your words around the reader. I love doing that when I write. Good job!

Wonderful poem indeed, though I cannot exactly imagine it as a song. I believe it's best that it remain a poem. Fantastic work, keep it up!
