Rebekah Lynn Richards Poet I do not know?

Being the Better Person

Blood boiling,
Temperature rising,
Fist tightening,
Teeth clenching,

My body shaken with anger
Evil thoughts going through my head
Wishing I could do something to make things even

But I'm the better person
That doesn't retaliate
I don't follow through with my thoughts
I just simply go on about my day
