Anger

By Nivritti Sinha

Although everyone says it is,

I don’t agree.

I don’t believe that

It is wrong to be angry.

So, maybe it’s only my opinion,

But anger always has a reason,

Just because someone’s heated,

Doesn’t mean that they’re a demon.

No one bothers about 

What caused the anger surge,

They only see the very tip

Of the iceberg.

Sure, people must keep

Their temper in check,

But have you ever

Tried to see what caused that mess?

I know that doing all this,

Would make you very exhausted,

But you could make someone’s anger disappear,

By finding the anger’s causes.

Some experience anger,

Because they feel ignored

While others face change, 

That’s not in their control.

Some are just bottling up their annoyance,

Because they don’t know what else to do,

Others take it out on the wrong person,

I mean, what would you do?

If you can keep your cool,

Then consider yourself lucky,

Because being angry all the time

Is not at all funny.

People get annoyed 

At being really, really angry,

I know, it seems weird,

But it happens, just trust me.

People feel angry at someone,

Then they get angry at themselves,

Because nobody ever likes

Screaming at someone else.

I know that we must control it,

But the pressure will build up,

And eventually

the volcano will erupt.

And when it does,

The aftermath is worse,

Because that anger will keep boiling

Till it eventually bursts.

This phenomenon is dangerous

And it happens way too often,

There really needs to be

Some kind of better precaution.

Now with all things said and done,

And my thoughts heard,

I really hope that hot-tempered

People will no longer be called absurd.
