it’s not often
he let the stress
get to him
anger swell
within
invasive
infectious
festering
no end in sight
his mind
detonate explode
scatter
it’s not often
but today was different
just can’t deal
he let it get to him

Thanks, Rhona. Funny how we get mad at ourselves for getting drawn in.

Ah, Line, we have all been there because behind all anger is pain; it is the pain that hurts us the most. It is usually unexpected, undeserved and shocking like the strike of a snake.

Like when dealing with bullies.
