I have something inside me
That burns so very brightly
A feeling that I am good
Doing everything I should
I seek it when I feel pain
For a way to push again
To triumph over my fear
And protect what I hold dear
Fuels me when I've had enough
Pushes me when time is tough
I nurture this little flame
Knowing it will do the same
I feed it so it can grow
But keep it hidden below
This rage must be used safely
It is not for all to see
I coddle this feral child
Ready for when it runs wild
A useful tool, without doubt
As long as the head holds clout
Cannot be left uncontrolled
Or disaster will unfold
Greatest strength and biggest flaw
Rage I keep, a hungry maw.
