The Journey Inward

Surrender to your anger now,
Bring it out and into the light,
There's no need to feel shame or fright,
Your body knows exactly how
To feel its force and feel its wow,
Don't contain it or push it down,
Go ahead and let your fists pound,
Feel out of control, but you're not,
Perhaps that's just what you were taught,
Catch and release it, safe and sound.

I created this for a writer in my class who wants to explore anger and loves the structure of the decima poem with 10 lines, 8 syllables per line and an abbaaccddc rhyming pattern.
