Stuff It Down

 I cannot look back

to the past of misery

deceit and mistakes laid out

one after another.


Anger- dropped

pouring to the floor

is a shred of self-respect.


Stop being angry for

the advantage of others.


Stuff It Down.

Stuff it down.


The grudge of grand proportions.


I cannot cope

in a constructive style.

Smiles and grinding teeth to the gums.


I will not open my mouth

to spew my personal truth.

It is not effective.

It is not endearing.


How I feel is kneeling,

hands holding shoulders down.


I can’t get up from a state

of self induced hate

without fighting the hands

that keep me kneeling

to indignation.


I don’t have the energy

to deal with disappointment.
