My anger is trapped on an island in my mind

My anger is trapped on an island in my mind.

A man who screams out the name of everyone who has rejected me.

A lion who roars in jealousy over the expensive steak I can't afford.

"Fuck capitalism" she cries.

Id need a boat to retrieve them

How can I feel the anger when it's a million miles away

I keep walking

"I don't need that steak" I say

"I'm a good girl who doesn't spend money"

I don't need money

Life is fair.

Life is good.

Life is what you make it.

A lullaby of Lies I whisper in the lions ear

I pull the blindfold tighter around her piercings angry eyes

But her vision is too good

She can see through my flimsy scarf

And I know one day her jaws will snap the gag

my worst fear will be realized

I will have no control

No calm facade to hide behind

Just pure endless blinding rage

And I'll have to do something scary to calm her-

Change.
