Until I Met Life
I detested anger
Until I met life
Then, anger became my hanger
And an escape from strife.
I take it
Whenever I'm struck by living
Those unrepentant forces
That hit below the belt.
Anger never frustrated me
But life made me see red
So, many thought I was angered by life
Yet it was anger that saved me from strife.
Many would stay away
With anger as your friend
And their many troubles that hold sway
You would never ever attend.
Well, don't really say
Anger has become perfect
Because out of all that's evil
I just grabbed what I thought
Was the lesser evil.
