I noticed something today
Anger from a loved one is sometimes better
Better than frustration
Better than pain
Better than disappointment.
Anger is usually expressed
violently
with yelling and screaming
sometimes with hitting.
When someone yells
you can yell back
when someone screams
you can scream back
when someone is angry
you can be angry to.
With frustration
they don't yell
they don't scream
they don't scream
they don't give you a reason
to be angry at them
With pain
they may cry
they may retreat
they may look depressed
And all you can do is feel bad
With disappointment
you let them down
they know you can do better
they expect more
all you can do is be angry
but not at them
at yourself
If you do something wrong
I would prefer anger
I would rather yelling
so that I don't feel
guilty or bad
for what I do.
Wouldn't you?
Author notes
my boyfriend gave me the idea for this. I was frusterated with him and he was upset that I wouldn't yell at him!
Please tell me what you think
