A quiet rage
A subdued frustration
And yet, peace.
Obfuscated aggression bursts forth
Obscene slurs spew from my lips
And yet, peace.
I violently shake the cage
I scream inaudibly
And yet, peace.
I beat my fists against the wall
I kick and charge the barriers
And yet, peace.
I am bruised
I am weary
I am defeated
And yet, peace.
And yet, peace.
