Anger

A pull-back for one
Seeing someone contorted
seething with anger

Life is unworthy
if embers burning inside
enhanced skewed judgement

Good sense drives a hard
bargain. Malfunctioned thinking
points to disaster

  8. Dealing with anger has been and still is a big struggle for me. It does completely cause one to lose every good sense and leaves one drained and feeling awful after.

    Well written.

  13. There is such a thing as healthy anger. Suppressed anger leads to disfunction and ultimate disaster..such as going into a school and shooting everyone!

  14. Hank, these are very wise words indeed. Suppressed anger is dangerous. My apologises for not visiting more often, I am so damn busy all the time. Hope all is well with you and yours.
