I Was Angry

I was angry I refused to agree that time would set me free but it did it got rid of my ill forgotten feelings as I went through a process of mental healing I was angry My ego and been let down and played around town like a guilty clown that’s why on my face I wore a permanent frown But I learned to forgive instead of self pity and grieve and boy what did it do me A lot of good that even now not everyone can see Now I lay in bed instead Think it all out whisper rather than shout Before I act so that my mental state can remain intact Now I breathe in and I breathe out for its a known fact two wrongs don’t make a right There is no point in trying so hard to stir up a fight I was angry So I resorted to alcohol But swiftly recalled how that became my best friends downfall He used to drink heavily And pretend he was having a ball Until one day his liver gave the final call I was angry Now I am angry no more © Sylvia Chidi- 17 October 2005
