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

I apologize

Peace reigns.
