the red waves

anger it fills my veins

anger it sips through my arteries

anger when it reaches my heart

I can't deny it

I can't control it

it overflows me

even if I know the tidal wave

will soon disappear

it clouds my brain

it weights on my head

it overflows me

like the rain

that threats to be a flood

I am underneath it all

I am under the sea

the waves clash against me

as I hit the rock bottom

I am tired of being

scorned by the same things

over and over again

I am the tidal wave

I am the shipwreck

I am the last straw

and yet I breathe

and yet I conquer

I emerge from

the dark depths

of my prison

I survive

no matter how tall

are my waves

I don't fight them

I embraced them

the anger fades from my system

and I calm my monsters

from the depths

I inhale as I once again resurface

I live to see yet another day

It's alright... it's alright

I will be fine once more

just not today
