today, i am

Today I am angry.

My blood boils, my face reddens with rage

The fire in my soul is burning me alive

But no, I do not want water.

I do not want the flames extinguished

Yesterday I was sad,

But today I am angry

I try to speak, but my voice hides

Because despite all this anger, I am afraid

I do not want to upset the people responsible for my anger

They can ruin me. They already ruin me

I hear them chanting "Do it! Die! End it!"

All I want is a moment of silence

But I am too scared to ask

I fear that they'll say yes,

I fear that they'll say no,

I fear that they'll ignore me.

Tomorrow I will be happy

At least that's what I hope

But today I am angry

These 24 hours never end.
