Anger

My blood surges To its boiling point I am about to snap And the meanest animal Is about to be released. The animal's wrath will unfurl It will hurt And destroy life Including mine But I took a long deep breath. I shouted at the top of my voice In the dense forest My screams were answered By the birds With their sweetest songs. I yelled on the tunnel The things that came out Of my mouth were pieces of trash The words that I swore It came back to me I am ashamed of myself.
