A warrior princess 
With golden armor 
And an aluminum core 
Told me to keep my anger 

Let it boil and let it rise 
Until the steam hits your tongue 
And when they chime how you’re too young 
Breathe fire from your soul 

Let your words be the embers 
Fallen at their feet
Don’t let your tears put out heat 
Watch it burn slowly 

Warrior goddess princess – queen 
With armor that’s both palpable and strong 
Teaches me how my anger is passion 
And my directness is professional 
Shows me that saying no is not being disagreeable 
Just as crying is not weak or womanly 
But humanly 

These lessons I know to be true 
If they are the only facts that I’ll ever know
Because warrior goddess princess queen
Is what I see

Every time I see a silver car I become alert

And I immediately check the make and model

I do this not because I hope it is you,

But because I’m praying it’s not.

Dear Anger,
I don't need you.
Anger,
googling how to conceal you.
Anger,
at the ones who don't mean it.
Anger,
my captain, my ship.
Anger,
sinking in the blue abyss.
Anger,
"Breathe honey, and think happily."
Anger,
because it's my anchor.
Anger,
becuase I am prone to danger.
Anger,
because sadness is too big a defeat.
Anger,
as I weep at your feet.
Anger,
because you are the most powerful drive.
Anger,
what I'd do to survive.
Anger,
your rush gives me hives.
Anger,
what you see behind my eyes.
Anger,
boiling, spilling, foaming over.
Anger,
will I see you again, say, next September?
Oh Anger,
I don't need you 
-but want,
want is another tale.
So long and frail,
that overuse, seems to be abuse.
Oh Anger,
I try to conceal you,
but I still feel you.
I try to console you,
