Today I got mad.
Gushed like a volcano. Poured out lava with my words. To burn you whole So you never again Make me mad Like today. But you didn't flinch From the fire in my eyes You didn't fire back At me from close range You didn't play My sadistic game. Instead you waited For the storm to pass And you held me in your arms Loving Supporting Forgiving Today I got mad And then I got quiet And then I cried Because it was the only way To turn off the fire in me. It was the only way to tell you Thank you For seeing the woman behind the fire For seeing the sad, under the mad.
