What some call "Anger"

It flows through my veins
It clenches my heart
It stops me where I stand
And it takes me apart
It turns me into someone
That I don't recognize
Fills my mind with red;
A monster hypnotized
It is a monster inside me
Clawing to get out
Its hackles rising, ready to strike
Fine hair bristling upon its snout
It boils and froths
With the fury of the tide
And someday it will take me
When everything else has died
