Angry

Your pace quickens

Your temperature rises

Your breath deepens

Your voice quivers

Your fists clench

Your teeth grind together

Your thoughts race

Withheld tears and a clouded mind testament to a soul overcome by the tormenting disease.

The tumultuous, ever familiar disease.

Anger.

Your mood swings violently from one end to the other,

And amidst the confusion you wonder

How the monster within you could have been released

As you cease

The expression of any rational thought or behavior

Behaving as though any bout of sound reasoning had been rationed

As your passion drives you further and further away from a place

Alien to sentiments of rage

Of hate

And ultimately of regret

Yet we forget

This poison that has entered our minds, bodies and souls

Controls these very faculties

Harming none other than the vessel within which it is consumed

And still you are unable to resume

The routines of daily life

Presuming others are in the least bit affected by your mood

Failing to realize your discomfort is the fuel to their fire

As they desire your complete and total control

Of a being wanting nothing more than an extended guest list in his abode in the next life

As the best life is hidden from your view

Because you

Harboured an ignorance so deceiving

Clearly assuming

That this life and those in it were made perfect

Free from faults as though none erred within it

And the minute

Your “perfected” plan takes a turn for the worst

You seek out excuses and these causes you curse

Yet to nurse a pained heart hurts you more 

Than to restore it all back to before 

Your four valves rushed blood out

and your temperature soared

Anger confuses and leaves hidden bruises

Abuses the soul, left battered and looses 

all sense of control, disarrayed so you lose it

Your driver-satisfied

Your actions, his amusement

So, before you take a ride in the passengers seat 

Take a deep breath 

Relax

and remain in control

For one never knows the outcome of their actions 

While they are angry

It has been narrated by Abu Huraira (May Allah be pleased with him) That Allah's  Messenger Muhammad ( PBUH) Said:
 “ The strong is not the one who over comes the people by his strength
But the strong is the one who controls him while in anger." [Bukhari]
