Check out my latest poetry for emotionally smart living, called combative written by craig dunkleberger There are times in life ,that you will be angry, and want to fight. You didn’t consider another perspective, you thought you were right. You mind is closed, and you do not want to hear the other side. You feel you are the sheriff, and it’s your law, they must abide. You are combative, because you feel disrespected, and not heard. You feel that how you were treated, was ridiculous and absurd. You think you’ll feel better when you get things off your mind. The golden rule doesn’t apply to you, you have an axe to grind. You start to run your mouth, and are saying things, you regret. For the other people involved, this isn’t something, to forget. When you’ve said your peace, your body language tells it all. Your arms are crossed, and you feel a tightness, in your jaw. Sometimes you perceive a threat, that isn’t even really there. You can’t communicate clearly and are not really self-aware. You let fear and frustration, get the better of you this time. After reflecting, you know it was you, that was out of line.
