Anger Is a Valid Emotion
But what a waste,
in general, don’t
you think? I try.
To think. But
today it hurts
a bit too much.
So what is there
to do on such an
unthinkable day
as today? I flip
a switch and then
I flip another. I
have a list, you
see? “Things to
do when I am
down.” I am
exhausted. I
am amazed.
Sometimes a
bit of hate can
sharpen one’s
focus. Most
times, however,
it doesn’t do but
just the opposite.
Down the list I
crawl, seething,
until I feel
once more
like breathing.
