Turn your fist into hands

by Rayne   Mar 1, 2012


Watch what you're doing
Listen to what you say
How would you feel
If I treated you that way
Take a step back
Breathe in and then out
Use your words
But don't scream or shout
If that doesn't work
Try counting to ten
Don't speak before you're ready
But when you are, try again
Don't act like a boy
Because I know you're a man
Before you lose it all
Turn your fists into hands

    ^This opening stanza here starts off with a warning and that would want to make the reader to read on...good.

    Take a step back
    Breathe in and then out
    Use your words
    But don't scream or shout

    ^Sounds like the writer here is giving tips to control one's anger rather then using an angry tone with volume!

    If that doesn't work
    Try counting to ten

    ^My grandmother used to tell this to me..reading this brings back memories :)

    Don't speak before you're ready
    But when you are, try again
    Don't act like a boy
    Because I know you're a man

    ^Good advice here for the writer tells the person to behave like a grown up rather then a child who does not know how to control.

    Before you lose it all
    Turn your fists into hands

    ^The ending is good. It calms an angry soul to unwind from a battling position and to use words..good write :)
