Anger management

The Anger within me is boiling The situation seems out of control The fight or flight responses Is as primal as it can be. The amygdala, kicks in And takes over for me. But why blame it on primal Cause religion teaches another Created by the Father Born of free will are we. The choice of being noble Or primal is in my capacity So I decide to test my confusion And see who lives inside of me A person of free will or A carnal nature of me. So when I encounter situations Which would otherwise anger me I'd like to bellow in rage I'd like to make believe Here my animal is taking over I can feel his grip over me The struggle within me is stronger The ground I'm loosing steadily I laugh! Where are you free will? See whose got me now in his grip And then in the flash of the moment I see the irony! Suddenly as if the scene's changed The reactor becomes the actor Letting go of a long sigh The drama comes to a halt. For in that moment, free will kicked in My freedom I realized Yes we are carnal beings And it's not surprising Because animals behave just as we But we are armed with an arsenal To be infinitesimally good To be heavenly If only we listen to our inner wealth Telling us to above all rise When we give vent to our free will. It's that moment to decide. Anger is worst of the lot of monsters But alone he's usually not. He has a lot of companions His minions are all about. This matter is not simple Don't get bogged down in psychiatry Practice makes one perfect Tackle your fears and threats Handle each one steadily Before long you'll know the signs Arm yourself with humility His minions will try wreak havoc And wound your ability So stop the amygdala from taking over Ask yourself is it worth? What is the worse that could happen if things didn't go your way. The answer will be astonishing When you've discovered your treasure You'll find the demon's flown What a relief it will be You'll feel blessed abundantly
