Mortal Enemies

By Ananya Singh

Anytime I do not understand something or feel unhappy with the way things are going on, anger steps up and says, “Use me, let me help!”

And I used to give it a lot of free rein !

Till I noticed, anger was not that helpful and generally tended to make things worse.

Now I try to rely more upon patience, as it does not keep clicking that counter,

adding up every resentment of the hour.

Besides; I can look straight into patience’s face,

and not have one clue of what it is thinking…
