Walking the Tightrope

​Being a gentle giant comes with a curse:
Knowing deep within how dangerous the beast truly is.
To go from zero to off the chain in the blink of an eye,
When the rage starts flowing like a wild, broken river.
​Everything ahead becomes a wall,
And I am the force meant to smash through them all.
When the vision goes dark, control flies out the window.
When the light returns, all the carnage is seen.
​Crying out to fully control the wild river,
Willing to learn the triggers.
But one can never be prepared
For the unexpected.
​Is there fear of the loss of freedom?
No—and that is what makes it feel like life is lived on a tightrope.
​Instead, bleeding the rage to the page.
For all to see there is a true way out of the cage of darkness
To live in peace.
