Anger

What is this feeling, anyway?

It's so mediocre

that makes you a joker!

It clings to you when you say

“I am angry, I am infuriated!”

Why be so outraged?

It's just an emotion that you caged!

Don't let it stay,

you have the control.

It's not a role

you must play.

Stop pretending you are on a stage

stop all this rage,

turn the page!

What good does it do

to keep madness inside you?

Madness only leads

to badness,

and sadness.

Never to good deeds!

Harsh feelings are caused

by a resistant mind,

so why be so blind?

It's an aggressive way

to spend your day,

it brings frustration, annoyance

even violence!

A temper so explosive

can be corrosive!

And a willful mood

is so rude!

Why the fury?

Just try to be your own jury.

Why to be so indignant?

Is all that significant?

Being irascible won't fix a thing

neither will do smoldering.

Leave the wrath for the fictional grapes

because life can assume all shapes.

It just depends on you

and how you do.
