How’s it going today?
That's like asking that leaf “how’s it hanging?”
Rage.
Today I feel rage and should anyone cross me.
I doubt anyone could stop me.
Go ahead. I'll wait and watch while you try to fight back.
You can’t stop me once I’ve gone off, I can’t either.
I’m trying.
Trust me. I’m trying my damn near hardest.
Rage for me has always been a dance for me, one foot in front of the other.
I just started singing Fitz and The Tantrums.
Okay back to my story. My rage, it’s like a dance for me.
Trust me, I’m in no way shape or form saying this is a good thing.
But it's always ready. In my back pocket, ready to pull whenever I need it.
I think I’ve had to defend myself and my health so many times growing up.
Hearing bad news alone. It’s like watching a car crash in slow motion for me.
My whole life I’ve been on defense. Ready when needed, boss.
Just say the words.
Like I said earlier, ever seen a bitch snap?
It’s scary. I wouldn’t want to fight me. Nope, No thank you.
I am getting help for the complex PTSD.
Trying my hardest to keep it under control. But when I just keep getting punched.
It’s hard. I have battle scars people haven’t seen. They are going, nowhere.
In the end it’s just in my nature to be a ram. I’ll fight you for my voice.
