Frenzy

I worked myself up
and I made myself sick
the anger inside
has made my blood thick
it pounds in my head
as I tear my hair out
take it out on my face
I take the pain route
listen to music
to calm the fear
dance hard all night
in my full-length mirror
push my hair back
from my sweaty face
the soft, dark shadows
hide my disgrace
my silhouette knows
what I want to be
but what happens for real
is only skin-deep
clench up my fists
and my aching teeth
pulsing with anger,
I have forgotten my grief
