I lost my way today
It wasn’t because of you
I yelled and screamed
My pain bled right through
We both didn’t realize
All the moments that were built up
Like a volcano I was about to erupt
The guy that cut in front of me
The woman that did the same
They didn’t realize I was in pain
The knife that slipped and cut my hand
And the soup that was just too hot
I accidentally spilled on the pup
That must have hurt a lot
I tried to help my little dog
His tail tucked between his legs
He ran away and hid in pain
Sadness penetrated all like rain
That journal that got thrown away
It didn’t seem like treasure
I only worked on it my whole life
It just looked like scribbles of someone’s strife
I had a bad day it wasn’t because of you
It wasn’t about the man or woman
Who cut in front of line
The hand that held the knife that slipped
Was obviously mine
How could I be so careless and hurt my precious dog
I left my journal in the rain
It looked beyond repair
So obviously it looked like I didn’t care
One bad day can add to another
So a perpetual yell feast this will be
Because I have the right to be angry
If I take time to reflect on these events
This path does not feel good
I also have the choice to see
That I have to work on me
I am not perfect and never will be
I will find ways for me to change
And calm the energy with in
This is where I will begin
No more explosions
That is my goal
For that takes too much of a toll

Presented with the kind of genuine humility which allows readers to go through the process with you, coming to the same conclusions as does the poem. Nice rhyme and meter, too. Great write. 👌
