Peacemaker
I like to pacify
Conflicts I like to avoid
For I like the peaceful waves
But once in awhile
Though scarce it’s true
A rage builds in me
And things spill out
Verbal diarrhea of all the things
That people have done to wrong me
A wave of anger
Swiftly gone
Peace comes over me
For a few moments
Until regret is there
apologize

Peace reigns.

  2. I think we are all entitled to let it all out once in a while - and it's a skill to find peace again - nicely written Sheilagh :)
