Poems About Anger

Patience is a stupid thing to have
Why should I be patient?
Why should I care whether I hurt someone?
No one is patient with me
They walk all over me and think I won't care
I control my anger and don't lash out
They don't, they think they can do whatever
Because I won't do anything back
I don't say anything, I have patience
But would it really be such a horrible thing
If I just lost control a couple times?
Maybe more than that
Maybe every time someone said one little thing wrong
Would that be such a bad thing?

Violence is a bad thing
Yeah that's what they say
But sometimes it can be something good
It can make you feel better
What about the video games we play?
We make them for a reason, don't we?
I'm violent and I don't use it for evil
But would it really be so bad if I did for once?
Would I really do anything wrong?
Why should anyone be able to hurt me?
I should be able to hurt back
After all, it is my right to fight and defend
It's inside us all

Anger is something inside us all
It needs to be let out somehow
Some do it differently than others
But it all works out the same
I have anger but I control it
But would it be such a bad thing if I let it loose?
Would it be so horrible if I just hurt you and left you there?
I wouldn't be doing anything wrong It's normal, right?
So maybe I kill you, so what?
Maybe you deserved it
And maybe it was the right thing to do
After all I'm only thinking of the others around me...

Author's Notes/Comments: 

This isn't supposed to be as bad as it sounds, it's supposed to sound sinister though. It's something I think we all think about at least once. We get mad and we want to hurt someone who's said or done something wrong. And we try to convince ourselves that it wouldn't be so terrible because it's human nature. But we usually never actually do anything at all, but the thoughts are always there.
