the clouds are gathering now

dark and heavy they remain

but still they refuse to

pour out their rain

festering, simmering

biding their time

as i sit and stare

society’s paradigm

so much anger

so much rage

and yet i do nothing

stuck in my cage

you overlook me

mistake my silence

for innocence, weakness

a lack of vengeance

oh, but i’m angry

so tired of this life

where my mind is killed

with an old butter knife

you think it’s easy?

to watch all they are?

when it’s everything i want

but it’s grown too far

a ticking time bomb

but i’ll never explode

trust me on that

my gun i’ll reload

do you know why i wait?

in the shadows, my dear?

because i figured once you knew

you’d want me near

but i suppose i was wrong

now i can see

just remember the rain clouds

when you find me
