Candy-Coated Rage

They said, “Just smile, be sweet, don’t make waves.”

So I swallowed my fire…

Now it’s burning its way out my veins.

⸻

Used to sugarcoat my pain with polite little nods

Bit my tongue so long, now I’m bleeding out flaws

Every “I’m fine” was a lie wrapped tight in a bow

Now the candy shell’s cracked, and the rot starts to show.

They said, “Chin up,” while they sharpened their knives

Told me, “Grow up,” while they shattered my life

I was the good kid, the quiet one, the easy prey

Now I’m the storm they brewed in their sunny day.

⸻

I used to fake it just to make it feel okay

Now all that sweetness turned my soul to razor blades.

⸻

🎤 This is my candy-coated rage!

A lollipop grenade with a sugarblade face!

🎤 Smile while I burn the stage!

I was the punchline — now I’m the plague!

🎤 This is my candy-coated rage!

You liked me better when I knew my cage!

🎤 Now I’m laughing while I flip the page —

On this twisted fairy tale you made.

⸻

They gave me frosting lies with a toxic grin

Every compliment came laced with sin

Said I’m “too much,” “too loud,” “too weird,” “too fake”

So I swallowed every word ’til my stomach would quake.

Now I’m spitting out truth like venom-tipped bars

Crashing through your calm like wrecking guitars

No more sweet talk, no more bite my tongue

I’m the monster your silence has finally spun.

⸻

They never saw the pressure building under smiles

Now I’m dancing through the ruins of their lies.

⸻

🎤 This is my candy-coated rage!

A jawbreaker heart with a bitter taste

🎤 Smile while I burn the stage!

From sucker to savage in a beautiful blaze!

🎤 This is my candy-coated rage!

Your pretty world is a sugar glass cage!

🎤 Now I’m laughing while I set the blaze —

And watch your masks melt away.

⸻

💣 I was the doormat — now I’m the door slammer!

💣 The sweet kid — now I’m the backhanded slammer!

💣 Took your insults, now I repurpose the pain

💣 Like a pixie stick laced with propane!

⸻

🎤 This is my candy-coated rage!

From pleasantries to war paint on my face!

🎤 Smile while I torch your stage!

Your kingdom was cute… now it’s bathed in flames!

🎤 This is my candy-coated rage!

Bubblegum fists with a brass knuckled name!

🎤 Say my name while you taste the shame —

This sugar ain’t sweet… it’s laced with blame.

⸻

I smiled through hell…

But you never saw the fuse

Now watch the sugar burn.
