Anger Mgt

I am an angry man I considered butchering my mother So that the government could offer me Other accommodations away from her Just because she asked me to clean A pot in her house She is so gracious My mom She accommodates me But I blew up shaking with rage Eyes bulging teeth bearing Voice raised saying all kinds of nonsense Earlier in the day I was angry again At my girlfriend for nothing I said some hurtful things I must be a horrible human being Thankfully she chose to never talk to me But my mother my dear mother What choice has she got from me I even got angry at my dog When she was trying to sit close to me I yelled at her even though She truly leans on me Maybe I am all the evil yet to be What happens when anger burns All the love left for me in this world What will I do with the memories And the Ashes of what I had The love I could not understand What happens to me when I die Alone starved and alone in the dark Will there be anyone to place a rose Or sing a dirge on my final verse I need to stop being angry Or I will not be there To kiss my mother goodbye Because of all the shame I carry inside me

Seems a very heart felt plea about something you can address. It's something to unlearn, perhaps with the help of an expert. Either that or hope you mellow with age. Writing poetry about these things will help you process your thoughts and reflect. That reflection might be the tiny spark to make you choose another path when you feel anger starting. Good luck
