Tuesday: The Day for Creativity
Welcome to this fine Tuesday! Today's edition of Scribbles brings us a poem written by Malachi; the poem deals with the idea of anger, and how it can be deadly if not controlled.
All of us struggle with anger at one time or another, but if you think about it, it really is very dangerous to unleash, and it can be hard to overcome. Give us your suggestions on how you hold your temper back, in the comments, and come back tomorrow for more Scribble goodiness!!

ANGER
It stalks in a
cave, prancing left, right
Like a monster in
the dark, creeping in the cold night
It is trapped,
caged, thrashing about furiously
Planning its
escape, it’s every move, meticulously
The iron bars of
its cage threaten to bend, to break
It slithers about
effortlessly, like a snake
The cage can barely
contain it, it battles every day
It weakens the
sides, and the lock breaks away
-
It lashes out,
claws sharp, fangs gleaming
It rips everything
apart with growling and screaming
All barriers crack,
all Hell breaks loose
It spares none, it
sends them all to the noose
_
The chaos complete,
it settles once more
But if it is riled
it will scrape to the core
Of everything
decent, of everything kind
Not realizing that
it's putting itself in a bind
-
It is this thing
called Anger, and you better beware
If you let it take
over, nothing will it spare

I'm the sort of person who has no control over emotions. Especially, anger. And, if there is one thing that I do to make myself less red is by singing a happy song, loudly.
ReplyDeleteOf course, I pull my little act behind the closed doors. I don't want to come across as a crazy person.:P
Being the sporty guy that I am, I like to go out and shoot hoops, or Juggle my soccer ball. It helps me get my mind focusing on other things like school and friendships. I also sometimes go the music route, it really depends
DeleteIf I'm angry I will:
ReplyDelete- Bake something. It keeps me distracted, I can punch and beat the life out of the batter or dough or whatever, and at the end of it all I have something tasty ^_^ You can tell just how mad I am by how much I'm baking or how hard the recipe is. The more I make and harder it is, the angrier I am >.>
- Write a letter or poem or something like that.
- Blast music.
- Go over a dance routine in my head or even practice it. '
- Or if Im really really really mad I will do all of the above >.>
