Quiet Storm Poem by Travis Johnson

Look in my eyes go past my heart
Look in my eyes go to my soul
So angry I wanna rip the world apart
It’s building up-why? I don’t even know
Some people say I need anger manage
Others say I need a preacher though
At night I sit with Erk N’ Jerk
Cry so much until my eyes close
But I don’t have no one to lean on
Don’t have nobody to comfort my pain
My wife is studying getting her Ed on
And Cortez lives in Cali man
Listening to rap to control my mind
At my melting point before goin insane
All it takes is another comment
To make me transform and rip my frame
People say I’m a nice guy
Some would say I’m their closest friend
But they only see me from the outside
They don’t see the flames and the hatred within
Bed time that’s my break call it HALF TIME
Then I wake up pissed ready to bang my head
People are trying to see the things I view
They don’t know when I walk around all I see is RED
Every day I wake upon the bad side
Then I take a timeout to get in my zone
All I need is a friend and love on my side
Trust dried out so I’m on my own
This is me on my sad side
Jus so you know what’s goin on
My name is Travis Johnson and this right here
Is something I approve cause it’s what I wrote
