Poem by Chandra Lynn Tyler entitled "Gentle Rage" There's a peaceful war a silent battle, a gentle raging taking place; involved are my mind and my heart. I can do nothing to put it to an end. If it ends, it ends. Victory will be the conclusion. Defeat will be the outcome. Written at age 15. Can be found in poetry collection, Musings from My Younger Self, by Chandra Lynn Tyler
It's crazy how a poem I wrote as a youth can express how I'm feeling today--decades later.
