Hot Temper

That pulse of rage. It sets my teeth on edge and my fingers tingling. I want to fight. I want to growl and snarl.
Things make me so mad sometimes. The heat of fury is completely useless in my world. All it does is tire me out as I fight to keep it in and then breath it out slowly or cry it out quickly. To be pissed about something is all well and good, but to be ruled by ones emotions is not the way to live. Shit happens. People are stupid and unfair sometimes. Sometimes there's nothing you can really do about it and sometimes there is, but fury doesn't often help.
Now if only I knew a way to dismiss it, but it's like pain. Wouldn't it be nice if you could just say, "go away, headache. I see you now. I will try to rest more but right now I can't." but no. a headache persists and so does fury. Anger can hang around a lot longer than a headache too. You're mad for a reason but the reason can be hard to fix and a person's natural impulses are often counter productive. For example throwing rotten eggs at the person I am angry with just isn't going to cut it, but I sure would like to.
