I raised my voice in anger today.
It was a little shocking and scary,

you see --
a lady never does so.

She keeps her anger locked away while she struggles for composure.

Strangles as the words are captured at the back of her throat.

A smooth brow.
An unlined veneer.
The serene visage never giving her away.

Looking years younger due to decades of masking her impulses

to yell
to scream
to rail at the injustice of it all.

That to live the perfect life..
She must remain a fake.
