Anger

Anger

A Poem by Josh Clifton

Have you ever been told
How to act, what to do
By a jackass of a person
Who really has no clue

Or treated like a child
By someone more immature than you
Or just talked down to
Until your anger grew

It reaches a boiling point
And you cant take it anymore
Your mind has been infected
Like an open sore

You dont care anymore
How someone feels or how you act
Only one thing on your mind
React react react

Your blood begins to boil
And you feel your heart race
You are stuck with 2 options
Calm down or break someone's face

Its at this point we must decide
What it is we are going to do
Let our anger get the best of us
Or slow down stop and renew

I pause, think to myself
Lose control and create a scene
Or regain my  composure
And  wipe my hands clean

No two situations
Result in the same choice
As sometimes we solve it with our fists
Other times with merely our voice

Definitely wonderful emotion here. A great explanation of how these situations feel - I think we all have been there before where your blood begins to boil and your taken over not even remembering how you react sometimes...well said. Thank you for sharing. Captures the emotion beautifully.

Very strong. Great emotion. But totally different than what I'd do. In your words, I'd "break someone's face"! Lol. I've got a horrible temper... geez, who woulda thunk it, huh? Lol. Great work.

I can totally relate. Sometimes the irony of life disturbs our peace in more ways than one. That's why I don't solely put 100% faith on other people's perception.
