Frustration piling up
Choking my tongue
My lungs
Til I can't get in a breath

I'm pacing around my bedroom
My classroom 
Like a tiger in a cage
Pride is wounded
Can't keep my eyes closed

Taking out my suffering 
On you
Cold eyes
Glass heart
You never seem
To let it hurt

Can't vent this fever, 
It's rotting out my brain
Eyes clouding
Until this self-inflicted 
Sightless fog
Is all I see 

I feel myself grow twisted
With every word you disregard
My cruelty isn't me
I'm the hero of my own story
But you don't know that
You don't know the
Anguish
Restless rushing pain
The anxiety 
Propriety 
That makes my daily chains
