Anger Steals My Bliss

Getting angry makes me angry.

Yes, I said angry – at myself -.

All those moans and undertones

Pulled unkindly from the shelf where I,

I fear, was unaware of

Their existence up to when

They tumbled on my bumbling brain

To ruin reason end to end.

 

Not unusual, you see, to

Wear robes of anxiety

To face the fear, to fight or flee

With angry overtones.

But I cannot abide with this

To let the anger steal my bliss

And toss me in a dark abyss

To muddle and bemoan.

 

Striving for that higher ground

Where skies are clear and air is pure,

Where anger quickly dissipates

And bliss may long endure.
