Notes About The Poem

Can't Deal

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

Rhona Mcferran March 9, 2019 at 9:53 PM Oooh, I've definitely been there- and you sum it up so well!! A FAV for me! ;) Line Gauthier March 9, 2019 at 10:05 PM Thanks, Rhona. Funny how we get mad at ourselves for getting drawn in.

Caren Krutsinger March 9, 2019 at 12:19 AM 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. Line Gauthier March 9, 2019 at 5:42 AM Like when dealing with bullies.
