    stealing from my joy
    what makes anger a disease
    is feeding it
    grow flowers
    feed bees
    we need more honey
    but oh that vinegar
    does make a great
    sweet and sour

    Anger

    hey
    you little spark
    I am sorry that
    I keep denying you, rejecting you
    blaming you for ruining everything
    you suffer for my immature behaviour
    will you forgive me
