Another Shade of Green

It's time to let a darker side of me come out and play.

And nobody's going to see it coming.

I'll fool them all with an innocent smile on my face

When they select me for the race,

But when the engines rev up,

I'm going to release everything I've kept inside for so long.

The pain from being left out.

The anger from staying stuck as Player 2.

The frustration from having dreams crushed again and again.

The humiliation from the guys in the suits giving me my own year,

Just as quickly snatching it away.

Today on the racetrack, my green fury will rear its ugly head.

I'll savor the fear emanating from those transgressors

As my baby blues sear them with heated hatred and vengeance

More intense than a volcanic eruption.

I'll send chills crawling down the smalls of their backs

As they buckle under the weight of my glare

Which holds no trace of forgiveness.

At night, I'll make them shake and tremble and sweat in their beds

As I craft the creepiest and most disturbing of nightmares

Permanently staining their once sweet slumber.

I'm going to eat this all up like a tasty treat

The same way you're about to eat this Green Shell!
