Uncontrollable

Self-Mastery is supposed to be the way to success,
However, many of us find it difficult to use filters
when interacting with others,

Our emotions become uncontrollable and without merit,
ranting and raving until others perish,
Destroying everything that is good and pleasant within
our reach, and after the emotional hurricane,
battered egos get washed up on the beach.
