    WORKING THROUGH SOME TOUGH FEELINGS

    RAGE

     I FEEL RAGE!
       MY HANDS ARE SHAKING AS I WRITE ON THIS PAGE.
    I WISH MY HEART AND MIND UNDERSTOOD THAT ANGER IS NO GOOD.
        I KNOW I NEED TO LEAVE RAGE ALONE.
    I AM GOING TO PRAY UNTIL THE RAGE IS GONE.
        I KNOW WHY I HAVE RAGE, BUT THERE IS NO NEED TO RECOUNT.
    I GIVE MY RAGE TO MY GOD, SO HE CAN WIPE IT OUT.
         OUT OF MY HEART, MY MIND, MY THOUGHTS.
    HE WILL REPLACE IT WITH PEACE AND JOY, LOVE AND CARE AS LONG AS I SHOW MYSELF AWARE.
    AWARE OF HIS LAWS AND PRINCIPLES.
          AWARE OF THE NEED TO HEED.
    AWARE THAT MY RAGE WILL SEPARATE ME FROM A LOVE THAT IS WHOLE AND COMPLETE.
    I WILL RELEASE THIS RAGE.
          I REFUSE TO BE A SLAVE TO AN EMOTION THAT HAS NO PLACE IN A CHRISTIAN'S LIFE.
    I WILL FORGIVE AND FORGET.
          THIS WAY I WILL HAVE NO REGRETS.
    I WON'T WEAR MY HEART ON MY SLEEVE.
           I WILL LISTEN TO MY GOD AND CLEAVE.
    TO THE ONE WHO IS NEAR TO ME WHEN I'M CRUSHED IN SPIRIT.
           WHO GIVES ME COUNSEL AND ENCOURAGEMENT, ALL I HAVE TO BE IS OPEN TO HEARING AND APPLYING IT.
    RAGE WON'T GET THE BEST OF ME.
    I WILL RELEASE IT SO I CAN BE THE BEST ME I CAN BE.
    TRINA N. THOMAS-EADDY

    Amazing. Your tone became more serene as the poem approached its conclusion. My rage is greedy, wanting to lap at revenge and gloating. I will take a leaf from your book, perhaps I'll have more peaceful nights. Thanks for the read. I loved it.

    Poetry comes nearer to vital truth than history.
