Changing the flow

Quietly,

I stand before you.

Stoic.

All a process,

ever in motion.

Anger leads to destruction,

until you try to change the direction.

Grasp the feeling,

and turn it towards creation.

Sadness becomes overwhelming.

Remember why you are sad,

and let the smile shine through.

Embrace all of the chaos.

Understand it.

Find your own peace.

Aside from the structure, this reminds me of several of my writings. I commonly lean towards this type of subject matter. Emotional discipline has been something I've spent significant time and brainpower on. The simplicity of this is great because the message, at its core, is very fundamental. I tend to drift towards the depth of it and come out wordy. Awesomely awesome!

Thank you.
We are all working in the same world. I tend to keep it simple. It feels natural.

I am wordy in most cases, whether I am speaking or writing. I tend to be of the thought that my explanation will be more accurate than the receiver's interpretation of what I left out...I know, it sounds arrogant, but...

Down to brass tacks. Thumbs up, or throw it away...

Wise words, beautifully captured. We can destroy or we can evolve and create. You'd think it would be a no brainer, but......

Destruction is easy. Creation takes more effort.

So much energy, there for us to harness and channel in better ways...

I chose rage and despair. I turned them into this.

This is better.

Constant process, my friend.
