Don't make a scene, Refrain
Angry words march through the brain
Mouth clamped shut as not to utter
Quivering body, quaking shutter
Rushing sound in the ears
Eyes blinded, wet hot tears
Furious fists, clench and flex
Out of control, mind forms the text
Pent up, overflowing, ready to implode
Rapid fire has them spent, now words reload
Body turns to walk away
Conscious of the futility to stay
The breath sucked in now released
Personal Power, tenfold increased
Anger tries to take its toll
Beaten by control
It is good to control and refrain.. but..at times anger burst out.. a good thought.. Rema.
Very well done. Uncontrolled anger is a very destructive thing. Ron
WOW, the anger comes through in this piece,10+ The control is the same as in my poem Sound Advice. regards Tom
you are a positive person with a heart of gold.Thank you, Linda for this nice sharing
A nicely written description of restraint, and a positive message about it's benefits. I am a bit puzzled by this line however: 'quacking shutter'. 'Rapid fire has them spent, now words reload', is a great metaphor. Better the mouth do the shooting.
well said, Linda...anger has ever been human's fore most enemy in life...good motivational write in well framed lines...10
Great poem Linda, beautifully constructed piece. Best wishes, Andrew

I've always told my daughter that if you can control your temper you stand a better chance of the good days outnumbering the bad ones. Thanks.
