I shiver with rage as I awake
It is never-ending, I can always feel the quakes
I may be distracted, project an air of calm
That is a carefully crafted facade
There is never a moment I’m not roiling in torment
Attempting to hold back all the hidden rounds, unspent
There is a sort of humming, always running in my head
The anxiety that builds is vicious and explosive
I shake it out for a brief quiet moment
Yet as soon as the world begins its movement
The humming increases its volume in an instant
Pitching me right back into my maiming entrancement
