Red MistA Poem by Stuart WatsonThis is a poem about anger, when the red mist comes down and you can't control it.On a normal day things are calm, But as the day goes on you better watch out. Bubble bubble bubble it slowly goes, Slowly creeping up to surprise me Why does this happen to me. I'm fighting to keep it down Thinking of good things, things that make me happy Slowly slowly the trigger is pulled back Fighting against the pull. Little things happening to me It's ok it's only small, and another small one Oh no and another and another. The heat is rising, my stomach turning. It's only going to need a spark, It's like putting a match to a fuse. Then whoosh, the rage shows it's ugly face Dancing in the flames of the devil You lose control nothing can stop it now The emotion runs riot, the anger runs riot Confusion in my mind, get it back in It puts up a fight, it's released It likes what it's doing playing, smashing objects anything that's close. I have to regain control, control the lungs Come on brain step in,pull it back. Come on pull,pull, pull nearly there. It's back where it came from That red mist that descended on me From where I do not know But calmness is restored until the next time. © 2014 Stuart Watson
