COPING MECHANISMS
So many circumstances leave us baffled,
injustices and unfairness leave our feathers ruffled,
we cannot cope as frustration and anger rises,
continually throwing us with unpleasant surprises.
We can take revenge and scream and shout,
it will simply take us on the roundabout,
anger opens the doors to darkness's sway,
luring us to do wrong and lead us astray.
There are better ways to overcome our lack,
learn how to cope without falling off the track,
we search for solutions to find a way through,
bringing us in contact with knowledge that's true.
With insight and understanding we move ahead,
while others are held back by anger and dread,
it catches them in webs of revenge and blindness,
while others move past with laughter and kindness.
