i wrote this after a massive fight with me against 2 family members, watched by my grandmother, who after the atmosphere had calmed down told me to "stop being so hot" (in other words calm down)


Aftermath

"Speak when you are angry and you will make the best speech you will ever regret"- Laurence J Peter

"I have a right to my anger, and I don't want anybody telling me I shouldn't be, that it's not nice to be, and that something's wrong with me because I get angry"- Maxine Waters

Smoke is whisping, cochlear style
And the eyebrows cave in and narrow
Fire in the eyes, diverging
And more material is now available for the file.

You can't let them see they got to you
Weakness is too hard to train
Nor can it be taken back,
Like some error of caution, something new

This was not borrowed,
Neither was it old nor blue,
But there is a familiar tinge to it,
Akin to your forehead now furrowed.

So she doesn't want to see me
like that again, "hot"
Irate, and boiling, like a half-cooked cray
Wanting desperately to jump out of the pot
And be free
