It Gets Worse

"...Be kind to those around you..."

It Gets Worse

It gets worse
if you let it.
You wake up
in a foul mood.
Go back to
sleep and change it.
Fight yourself
and knock the crap
out of that
anger that lives
within. Be
kind to yourself.
Be kind to
those around you.
It takes more
energy to
be hateful, to
live with rage.
Do yourself
a favor and
knock off all
needless nonsense.
