Frustration building,

Crackling like static under my skin

Tears flowing from mocha eyes,

Birthed from containing rage inside

Anger steadily mounting,

A violent storm brewing

Always keeping my mouth shut,

My lips locked tight

I fear that someday,

All the lightning and thunder

Will break free,

Pouring down in wrathful reign

I try to calm such feelings,

Stop them from ever bursting,

But, there are days

Where I simply long to scream

Everything, all the anger

And ugliness within,

Erupting for all to see

The eye of the storm,
