Within What Is

Areas where self-reflection is needed can be so easy to pinpoint, but it's still hard to admit things like pride. Poem for yall

I figured that there lay a monster within me,

waiting to snap at what came near 

till I was forced to deal with my frustration

learning to take it by the reigns,

so that whenever peace-corrupting terrors come near 

I would be calm,

but in doing so, I learned there was no monster within-

that it was just me.

Those same feelings of anger came from the same individual who expressed joy.

I now know what patience is, and I am not shaken by the tremors of this world.

Author's Note

I'm used to rhyming everything, but I figured i could take a break.

This world will always have tremors. What matters is how we react to them.
