Apocalyptic Rage

by Stephanie
Fits of apocalyptic rage at the world around me.
Bouts of intense soul-depleting sadness and
paramount confusion in my silence.
So fleeting are the few moments of
precious joy that keep my finger off the trigger
That they barely seem to exist at all.
The emotions that come without warning
Consume my heart, mind, body,
and soul with a gripping ferocious fear
That I feel that without release,
I am possessed by the nameless madness.
