I spend a lot of time enraged
As if a beast pent up and caged
I find much fault in all I see
So vengeful is the default me
But taking chance on much reflecting
There is behaviour I’m regretting
I’ve always let my pique spill out
When I should just relax, chill out
So every day or every hour
I try, I do, with all my power
To find a way to make some peace
With things I can’t control, at least
And that it’s best to let it go
Just shake it off, hang back, I know
So with this ode, I’ve made a pact
To find a better way to act
To try to choose the calmer way
To make it through the course of day
And try to show a little kindness
Rather than react with blindness
Even if the things that trigger
Do not fade, or get much bigger
Practice poise, I could for starters
‘Cause being patient’s so much harder
At end of day, how proud I’d be
If I learned to live quietly
And left resentment far behind
Such peacefulness I’m sure to find…
