Rx: for the one who is afraid of their own anger

The Signal Fire

Anger is not the wildfire

you were taught to fear.

It is the signal fire;

the one that says:

something here needs to change.

Do not drown it.

Do not swallow it down

until you forget what it was for.

Read it. Like a letter

your body has been trying to send you

for years.

It is not the enemy.

It is the messenger

you kept locking out.

Dosage: Read when anger feels dangerous. Repeat until you can hear what it’s asking for.
Refills: Unlimited. See you next Tuesday.
