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

Good for you (a little prideful maybe) but I'm glad you don't punch people in the face when they upset you
