If you read this and you think this sounds like it could pertain to you, if you read this and you think it pertains to something you have recently done, then maybe you might want to be angry with yourself. Use your misdirected anger for some good and make a few changes in your character. Your anger will own you if you let it.

Anger crushes, you live with it day to day
Wallowing in your pity and crying over your mishaps
Speaking as if you have no faults
I bet you think youre better than those you criticize
Cursing and breaking valued possessions
Disgracing your reputation to those who know you best
Pitiful display and you repress your thoughts
Talk is cheap and yet you cant afford to open your mouth
Leaving with hands clenched in rage
Calming yourself is not something you can attest too
Needing others to stop your inner violence
I watch you rip yourself to shreds
Even when you win the battle you have lost peace of mind
