Unleashed Rage

I can see it in your eyes.

The red glint.

Breath rapid & heavy.

Veins popping from your temple & neck.

Teeth gritted.

Your hands balled into fists.

Your whole body trembling.

These are indeed the stages of a grand hate & anger.

One that, when provoked by the wrong person at the wrong time, will be unleashed onto an individual who deserves it.

At least that’s how you’re currently feeling on the matter.

The ones who betrayed you.

All the times they played with your emotions.

Took your kindness for weakness.

Wanting to tear down your spirit in a means to control you or condemn you.

Revenge sits heavy on your mind at the mere mention of said betrayal.

Something needs to be done.

Someone needs to be harmed.

Someone needs to die.

In order for the pain to subside.

In order for the hurt you’re feeling to be physically felt.

In order for the anger to be cured.

The beast inside is clawing at the gates of your morality.

Waiting for you to put it aside & lose control like the primal animals we truly are on the inside.

Talking about it is no longer an option.

Now, it’s time for action.

……………you lost control.

Now that the anger has subsided, what have you gained?

What have you lost?

Did it fix the root problem?

Did it benefit you or the others involved?

Did it change what happened that caused the anger in the first place?

I Can feel you starting to get angry once more.

But that’s part of getting to the root.

The root of that anger is what truly matters.

The root of the problem, that when understood, can be processed & channeled to your benefit.

There’s nothing wrong with your anger.

But there IS a problem when you let it consume you.

The best plausible action in any situation involving anger:

Is to think.

What will happen if I make this emotional decision?

Who will get hurt?

Is there a better way?

You are not your anger.

Your anger is not you.

It is simply an emotion that you must learn to harness.

In order for you to be whole as a person.

& not be someone who is easily swayed by emotional triggers.

Always remember:

You are in total control of your thoughts & actions.
