Anger! Poem by Sanji-Paul Arvind

Anger is a normal emotional reaction,
Might lead to regrettable action.
Usually resulting in negative outcomes,
Learn to control impulses sometimes.

Keeping your anger at bay is a skill,
Inhale through your nose, through your mouth exhale.
Tense and slowly relax your muscles,
Like solving some kind of puzzles.

Pour all your anger out by writing,
And then destroy it by burning.
Let your emotions out by expressing,
Yet, you won't gain anything, by harming.

Visualize your happiest moments,
With your loved ones, ignore the torments.
Give your whole energy on self, as it will calm,
To others and self, do not cause any harm.

Blaming other has never helped,
On yourself, be focused.
Practice phrases or words that helps you control,
Visualize a pleasant scene being real.

Do things which get you bursting out laughing,
Music has been quite cathartic.
For anger is like a venom within,
For which, silence is the best medicine.
