growing up

I want to be pissed off
I want to lash out
I want to let self pity
explode in a shout

I want to be reckless
and do stupid things
I know its destructive,
regrets all it brings

But damn its annoying
to hold it all down,
wait till it disipitates
and smooth out the frown

Why cant i be foolish,
have a moody outburst,
be selfish and angry,
put my temper first?

Becuase letting it out
well, then it hits others
and its not just me
that my temper bothers

Then it can cause hurt,
cause conflict and pain
negative for all
without any gain
So

I CAN get pissed off
I CAN let it out
I CAN let self pity
Explode in a Shout

But the payment is there
when it hits or it misses
and to be bluntly honest
Id much rather have kisses

Really enjoyed the honest energy in your poem Ewoky
Growing up for all..does mean learning & being honest about our reactions to emotions..
Yet so much nicer when they end up in Kisses.. thumbs up

Hi Ewoky

I like the way this emotionally charged narrative leads the reader to such an agreeable final denouement. The tale is told with the kind of forthrightness Australians are noted for.

Best wishes
