I smile
It’s a masked
smile
But you can’t
tell
I’m a
placid man
Of calm serenity
I keep
myself civilised
Restrained,
contained
Congenial,
courteous
And urbane;
a polite man
Not shabby
in society
Yet there
are times
I would
prefer
To throw a
tantrum
Foam at the
mouth, and
Fly off the
handle
I’d like to
chuck a hissy fit
Blow a fuse
Fret and
fulminate
I’d like to
rave and roar
Scream and
seethe
I’d like to
yell and holler
Bawl and
bellow
Swear and
shout
For once,
just once
I’d like to
go beserk
Excuse me,
I’m not
really like that
I don’t
know what came over me
I keep my
rage to myself
It’s not
for you to see
Ahhh, the silent rage, I understand this well. :-)

ReplyDeleteThanks Yobial. I need to practice but can't decide whether to practice being a little crazy or throwing a tantrum or both! :-)
