Memory's of Anger

Have you ever thought about
emotional memory chambers 
I notice when I get angry
the memories link to other memory's

I never think about those thoughts
when I am happy But When I am angry
I remember everything from the past
a memory collection for anger

Emotional thought chambers
parts of the brain devoted 
to collecting memory's of the past
Chambers of anger devoted to pain

We fought and I learned 
to go for a walk
sometimes I walked for miles
before the anger disappeared

How valuable where those walks
far better than staying
to continue the fight
anger is such a dangerous emotion

destroying your home 
destroying your life
far better to go for a walk
allow the energy to escape

talk the talk
when anger has gone
I guess in anger we all say the truth
but it's a truth tainted by anger

a truth that's not the same 
as when we feel happy
it's a truth that designed to hurt
the person thats hurting you
