Senseless

Discontent brews hatred
It simmers underneath
This useless smile of mine
Only masking sharpened teeth

Anger boils over into
Pools of rage that flow
Powerless frustration for
This wretched status quo

Pulling at my hair
I will rage until I sleep
Then carve myself a steak
Out of those who think me weak

Scenes of violent madness
Play out on blackened lids
Impotent to fight against
All that fate forbids

I keep trying to extinguish
This burning in my soul
While struggling to swallow
All that I cannot control
