Anger;a dress-up emotiom



ANGER, A DRESS-UP EMOTION

I sat with anger
Unveiling its name, rage
Things we can't control
Tends to control our minds
Mess our emotions
Crackle over the furnace of anger
becomes an addiction

Bundled with frustration
And lurks to transfer to another
We become powerless
As anger has taken control
Messing up things

Anger is an emotion
Constant intake is an addiction
It is harmful
Poses as a threat to the inner being
Rage with the present
Steer pains and elevate hatred
Saddens the spirit
Stops the protagonist of joy

Anger is not a sin
It's an inputted flaw as a mortal
its an emotion
An outburst we ought to control
And not the other way round
Excess anger is an addict
When we failed to control it
It can pose a threat to inner peace
Anger is an antagonist of peace
Family of rage, and war of inner joy

I sat with anger
And the furnace
Rages my peace
It rendered me powerless
Blurring my vision
Peace evaded me
And was trapped in a furnace
A voice that cried to be heard
Treated fairly and validated
Abated unhurriedly in a trance
Of handcuffed ire

Fury ignited by one
Transferred to the inner self
I failed to let it out
To control it,
It controlled me
Peace and joy evaded me
And fury, frustration, and rage invaded me
I'm lost in this transit of emotions
It crudely spelled its name as Grief.
