Anger Does Not Cleanse the Wounded Soul

Anger does not cleanse the wounded soul; Invites no healing to the bosom scarring By thoughtless word or unintended scroll. ‘Tis more than hurt the mind so marring Nurtures the malignancy that sears inside Invites no healing to the bosom scarring— The constant ache signals the ailing pride Self-loathing eroding from deep within, Nurtures the malignancy that sears inside. More than merely misnomer’d fragile skin One’s whole being suffers from self-defeat Self-loathing eroding from deep within. From crippling anger the soul must retreat Before the whole personality is eaten alive One’s whole being suffers from self-defeat. One so consumed must want to thrive Anger does not cleanse the wounded soul, Before the whole personality is eaten alive By thoughtless word or unintended scroll.
