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!

This monorhyme puts all the ones I have ever seen or written to shame.

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. Tom

Unfortunately, you can't bottle feelings, but it would be wonderful if we could. I'd sell optimism, happiness, peace, and a lot of joy.

Love the way you turned anger - depression around to work for you, Milt. Great idea! And so resonant. Here's to uplift! ~ Gershon

Thanks, gw. It's not good to let negative feelings fester.
