Woke angry today with morning's new light
The weight of all the injustices done
And all the poor feelings under the sun
Had swollen within my heart overnight

Naught have I oft kept records of the wrongs
Shoveled upon my heart day after day
Never paying heed to the painful way
Not minding being told I don't belong

But, deeply the fire was being stoked
The outwardly reserved, calm demeanor
Just left a broken soul to grow meaner
‘Til all goodness was suffocated, choked

Today I felt anger as I awoke
For a heart, forgotten, lonely and broke

So long I've been told I'm not good enough
For the one thing I have wanted the most
That sweet love having hovered once so close
But getting gone when the getting got tough
