I’m so mad I could hit

I’m so mad I could spit

 

I didn’t get my way

I didn’t have my say

 

My face is all hot and red 

From the blood that has rushed to my head

 

Plus, my mind is in total disarray

Because I was denied what I wanted today

 

Grrrrrrr

 

 

 

Quit whining my inner voice tells me

This isn’t as bad as it could be

 

No hypotheticals, I snarl in a rage

What’s happened is awful and I can’t turn the page

 

Of course, sneering at myself does no one any good

And who knows why I ever really thought that it could

 

But back to my anger, it’s grown so intensive

I fear that my bad mood will make me offensive

 

Sigh

​

​

 

No, being mad all the time simply won’t do

It’s time to face this furious fury anew

 

Should I count to 10 or do some deep breathing

Could that possibly stop my rage from seething

 

What about calling a friend I can trust

Would that help my addled mind re-adjust

 

Say I know what I’ll do, I’ll walk for a spell

And find a perfect spot where I can let out a yell

 

Exhale

 

 

 

The wind throws a fierce punch at a tree on my way

But each limb pops back up with a swift counter-sway

 

Above, a hawk screeches a long and loud protest

Fleeing from small birds protecting their nest

 

A wildflower meadow parades pink, white and yellow

Diversity in harmony that helps my thoughts start to mellow

 

Until at last I can breathe and let go of the strain

And wait…what was it that I was mad at again
