Dear Anger
Dear Anger,
You boil up inside
You build up pressure
You wait to explode
What results of your schemes is lava that scorches all it touches,
Leaving nothing but ash behind
Dear Anger,
You thrash and writhe around in my mind
You punch me aggressively in the stomach
You come over me like a spell
When you strike, you control my tongue
When you strike, you control my mind
When you strike, you control my heart
But Dear Anger,
I’m sorry, I’m not sorry
No longer will I surrender
Your hostile words that hurt like knives
Will no longer utilize my guilty tongue
You will no longer dictate over my thoughts
Your rude remarks on what she is wearing are no longer necessary
You are no longer needed in the control station
Your job was done long ago
So pack your bags and travel far,
You’re being replaced by kindness.
