The Anger Trap

Scoff, sigh, look away.

Frown, look down, yawn.

Shoot 'the look' to someone.

Who cares? It's nothing to dwell on.


Someone asks a question?

I snap and spit right back.

Someone tells me something?

I don't care, shut your yap!


Anger, emotions, building up

Until I can't take any more.

To all who cross me even a bit,

I yell at and slam the door.


All I want is peace and quiet,

Yet, to no avail,

They just won't leave me alone.

I wish I could bail.


So I shut out all sounds,

All whining, all complaints,

Yet that makes it even worse,

Even less faint.


Finally, I've broken.

Finally, I've snapped.

Finally, I realize

That there's no exit to this trap.


Breathe, breathe, breathe.

In, out, in.

Take in my surroundings.

It's still wearing my patience thin.


There is no escape,

So I let it take control.

I wait for it to happen...

But it is no more...?
