Anger

wrote this after I let anger get the better of me. Kind of a mess, but helped to write it.

I have a side to me I regret that I show,

It is something, I always carry with me though.

For me, it's never been a source of pride,

Most of the time I try incredibly hard to hide.

I am referring to my aggressive side, my angry side,

Most days are calm, but others I am just along for the ride.

The foolish things I have done because of my anger are many,

I regret them right after, so honestly they don't help any.

Tearing a sink from a wall in a fit of jealousy,

has become a rather sour spot for me.

I think I have grown as a man, but yet it always lingers,

my most recent bout with anger, well its kind of a stinger.

My old phone had become a nuisance to me in the recent weeks,

a dropped call here, a message not sent there, it really stinks.

So I get a new phone and all is good, I will use this as an alarm,

The following day is all wrong, I missed every single alarm.

Late for work, and already annoyed, I grab the phone and head in,

I need files from it before the new phone life can begin.

I for one reason or another decide to test my alarm feature,

Missing one alarm was fine, but all of them? I'm not that lazy a creature.

I set it for a few minutes from now, it goes off loud and proud,

I thought to myself, well it works but ok Im at work and this is loud.

Silencing it didn't work, I try to turn my phone off to stop it,

nothing was working, like the tell-tale heart, the beat I couldn't stop it!

Louder and louder the alarm chirped, unable to stop it, my old friend returned

I started to get angry, I was already mad at the day I was having, now I felt spurned!

Why won't you stop!!! I shouted, trying to argue with an inanimate object,

It was no use I was angry, I was blinded by a rage causing a disconnect.

The Jekyll of Josh was gone, left was a rage fueled Hyde,

I snapped to put it bluntly, my foolish anger had taken me,

My old phone was the poor victim of the assault perpetrated by me.

I threw it, again and again, hoping it would stop the alarm,

It did not so I got angrier and caused more harm.

A smack on the counter, and another, the alarm still persisted,

I eventually ripped it in half, the alarm finally desisted.

I knew I messed up when I looked at my hands and saw the phone in pieces,

In an instant the anger was gone and I was left with said pieces.

A moment of release was followed by immediate regret,

When you play with fire I guess that's what you get.

Why does the last line have no rhyme? Well done on expressing yourself in this write. Argh, technology often frustrates me too!! :P

I guess I will have to fix that! I had it saved as an unpublished draft for a while and when I submit it I guess I forgot to end it properly! Thanks for the heads up, now to think of an ending. Thank you for the review. I wasn't sure where this one was going when I was writing, just kind of venting.
