Anger

Its seed is pride
That planted itself deep
But you are not aware of
Because it was just a spore

It stems out confidence
That makes you secure
And yes so sure

Undetected
Its veins and branch
Keep on growing
Till they form a web

Your vision is obscured
So what you see
Is just their faults
Trampling on your rights

And your head puffs up
Filled with poisoned fumes
Ready to explode
With the slightest spark

Beware of words
Spoken in rage
Refrain from actions
Done in haste

None can return
And time won't rewind
Hearts are hurt
And friendships strained


And so they say
The wise is filled
With self-control

They do no talk like the foolish do
And they keep the raging storm within
And wait for it to pass
Before taking rein

The storm would clear
Like a passing shower
The heavy clouds gone
Revealing the clear blue sky

There you will see
That you've conquered the beast
Grab your heart
And expand its size

For how much wiser is one
Who controls himself
Than one
Who controls a thousand men
