Can you pick the emotion depicted in this poem?

Fury
Unrestrained
Calamitous rampage
Kindness is kryptonite
Yearning viper stalks the shadows
Open your eyes blind fool, beware I’ll strike!
Unnatural calm brews tempest storm
Fierce viperous bite
Eyes wide
Afraid?
Roar

Anger is for amateurs —
privileged fools with souls the colour of beige
I’m coloured apoplectic, in a cloak of fiery red…

Who am I?
I am, RAGE!
