A Gorilla, Not a Fish
I am a gorilla walking in the jungle, but I tame myself. I control my action and watch my mouth by thinking before I speak. Also educate myself to the highest level as possible.
When I get mad I feel like an untamed animal ready to go Rambo. I don’t like to fight if I don’t have to. My mother taught me how to control myself and don’t let people get the best of me.
When I feel rage building up I either call my mom or sister, listen to music, or stay alone and take a walk.

This is a great poem! Rage is a powerful emotion. It is important to remain calm and create avenues where you can control your feelings.
This is a powerful reflection on self-control and growth. It shows strength not just in holding back but in choosing peace and understanding over anger. There’s a deep wisdom in knowing how to manage emotions and lean on loved ones for support. Truly inspiring.
