Enraged

Sometimes I sit and wonder why
This life can be so hard
Just when I think I’ve got it right
Something seems to go wrong.

I try to do all that I can
To make it through the day
But after all is said and done
I’m still in the same awful place.

My temper remains out of control
My thoughts consume my days
I can’t remember the last day that went by
That I didn’t cry or feel shame.

What happened to the guy I knew?
The one I was proud to be
That guy got lost so long ago
I’m afraid I’ll never be set free.
