have you ever gotten too angry at the world?

the sort of anger that makes you cry, punch and hurl?

the depression that throws you into a downwards twirl

it's something not even the prettiest girl can unfurl

even if someone could possibly relate

the temperature of my anger is too heated for debate

if my voice was clearer you'd hear me rant for hours

words filled with harsh truths, without a single thing left unscoured

and when I'm done you'll see how my mood is truly sour

these seeds in my head are finally beginning to flower

gardening my brain causes a necessary shower

without my words I have little to no power

I guess I didn't have much control even with it all

the more I climb, the more consistently I fall

the more I come back to these pages on which I scrawl

my peace in life is forced to a crawl

vultures encircling my leftovers, the crow's final "caw" in my ears

if it isn't mine, I worry my friends end could be near

my nightmares cause way more than great

the terrible things I stand an unwilling witness and hear

how could we possibly want to die?

could an unknown possibly be better than an unfortunate alive?

not only does it all leave me hopelessly confused

I wonder how when I do extend a helping hand

that somehow, someway, someone could possibly refuse?

sure, I'm not exactly the guy you would exactly demand

and I guess I can't make you life's fan

but I sure as hell can show you somone cares

because life is lots more fun when you aren't self aware

since other people's problems are much easier to bare.
