Unresolved Anger

Some folks say unresolved anger causes depression
We know unresolved anger is a cause of aggression
Well, I’m here to make this unsolicited confession,
I would be a strong candidate to lead the procession
But first I want you to consider this little concession --
When depression subsides, I consider it a progression
For things always look up with a new upbeat accession,
A new attitude, peace of mind, and hope in possession
I’m exhibiting a new, welcome, and positive expression,
If only I could bottle and sell it as a cure for oppression!

Tom Cunningham Date: 4/24/2022 11:15:00 PM Better to find an outlet rather than let it fester inside you. If you could bottle the cure you'd be a very rich man indeed.
