Letting Go of Anger
I am angry
I am heavy
I feel it inside
I hold it in
I carry the weight
I become the weight
I am the weight
I am anger
It boils inside
Scalding my heart
Cooking my brain
I am anger
Everything is red
Everything is raw
Everything is sore
I inhale air
I exhale fire
Air, fire
Air, fire
Cold air
I breathe in deeply
Hot air
I breathe out gently
Hot air, not fire
Not anymore
Not as hot as before
But still hot, still angry
I breathe more deeply still
I welcome the cold
But still I am burning
Still weight-bearing
How can I
How can I let go
How can I let go of anger
I take in
The deepest
The coldest
Breath I can do
I keep it in
I reel it in
I close my eyes
Deep within
I feel myself
Slightly change
Just barely
And then I let go
No longer angry
No longer the anger
I am free
Was the cold air
A symbol
Of empathy
To cool my hot anger
Or was it
A summoning
Of indifference
To flush out my fuming rage
Does it matter
How it is done
Letting go of anger
