Hold on !
It's a choice but it will pull you down
Everytime you wear it.
It's not something to be encouraged.
The more you let in;
The deeper you will burn yourself.
It's an emotion in you and me.
It's okay if it rests in silence...
Beware ! Don't you tame this red enemy.
For if you tame it inside you,
It's you who will be under its control.
You will know no feelings of
Love, sympathy, empathy or humanity.
All you will know is 'red' -
Your worst enemy.
When it hits you,
Choose to be silent, calm and patient.
Defeat your foe with silence.
It's a battle between you and your anger!
Don't let your foe paint you red.
Don't let it control you.
All that's loud is not always powerful.
Sometimes silence alone, is powerful.
