Rage is like eyeliner,

It can be new,

It can be scary,

But you’ll get used to it.

Right?

You think that with each experience you’ll gain more control.

You’ll be able to pull it off.

You’ll be okay with it.

That never happens.

With each attempted stroke there’s a chance that it won’t be okay anymore,

One bad stroke and you’ll have to start over.

ONE BAD STROKE

and  you won’t have a shoulder to lean on

ONE BAD STROKE

and there will be sleepless nights

ONE BAD STROKE

and there will be tear stains on the sheets

it just takes one mistake

and nothing can be recovered.

 An unsteady hand,

And an angry comment.
