Power

Casey
Why do these tears roll down my cheeks

Will this someday stop

Random tears

Odd unexpected pains

Just reminders of what I went through

The sudden anger

Arbitrary thoughts run through my head

There's no stopping them

Just the drive to keep going on

Day after day

Go to my job

Try to forget about everything

My past

The hell, the pain

I'm sick and tired of being the messed up one

I was not destined for this kind of life

People scare me and make me pissed off now

Not all of them just a slight few

All it takes is a quick body movement

Or a look or word spoken to their wives or children

I wish I had super powers or something

Just so I could stop those who think they have all the power

They think they have the power

But really it's just them

Overcompensating for a lack of goodness of the heart

You all will pay one of these days

    I can relate to this. Do you know how long it took me to stop flinching every time someone raised their voice? It is a "survival" instinct built-in I think...
