• My body heats up by one hundred degrees,
    My mind stops thinking - it's like a disease.
    Old rages and bad thoughts start to take me under,
    As old pains and memories tear me asunder.

    I ignore this heat of an unnatural kind
    Even as it began to eat away at my mind.
    My eyes narrow with an animalistic rage
    The heat presses around me like a fiery cage.

    I want to break loose, I yell in frustation.
    Somewhere in my mind, logic told me this is intoxication.
    The beast poisons my thought and everything I'm about
    Killing me like an unseen poison, from the inside out.

    My mind is in turmoil; my body is inflamed.
    I roar like an animal that is yet to be tamed.
    But there is no taming the beast inside.
    It will always be there; why should it hide?

    Any reason left in me is dead.
    Anger is the nourishment that my soul is fed.
    The rage burns so severely, surely I would melt.
    Or go on a rampage, expressing how I felt.

    The room was crowded, which never made things better.
    It only increased the heat, as well as my temper.
    I have to get out, I have to escape
    I have to scream, I have to hate!

    I snarl and growl like a wild thing.
    A deep rumble is the new song I sing.
    Get out of my way, this animal is not restrained.
    Get out of my f**king way, this animal is not trained!

    I burst through the door, slamming it behind
    Ignoring the yells and screams of people inside,
    I let out an enraged roar, my mouth opened wide.
    And the fresh, cool air calmed me in time.

    My body cooled down, I'm back in control.
    But I was still anxious - Where should I go?
    I live in a world that is suffocating for me.
    The big crowds are way too scary.

    Am I safe? I can feel the beast within.
    Sealed like a curse, branding like a sin.
    Then reason told me, and my horror inclined
    If I'm too dangerous then I should take my life.
