When Anger Hits
Heather Sommermeyer 1986 (KY)
I can't breathe, see or hear
My mind is racing and releasing fear
What do I do when anger hits?
I always run into my pit
I'm seeing red and feel like fire
And I'm scared this situation is dire
Please help me, I'm screaming
But all this anger has me dreaming
I'm sorry for the way I'm acting
This feeling has control, regardless of my practicing
Forgive me of all my sins and
Just see me for my successes and wins
When anger hits, I have no power
So I decide to give in and just cower
Understand that I love you still
Even though this battle is against my own will
