Silent Assault
Turn the other cheek, they say.
Take the high road, okay.
I’m in, almost all the way!
Sometimes…
I feel the need to tear off my skin
The need to feed the sin
Expose the screaming demon within
Silent rage...
It knows your secrets
I want it to keep them
Oh the wound will be grievous
Verbal venom…
You test, torment, and tease
Until the monster is released
Begging please on your knees
Mental madness…
Scratch, claw, and rip out your eyes
Trying, desperately to close your mind
But it’s too late, time to pay for your crimes
Regret and repent...

Thank you thank you!!
I found the material compelling. Being the better person, ignoring slights, taking the moral high ground, until that inevitable need to take vengeance against those who do us wrong. And then, taking a psychological approach to retaliation.
