Resentment

Bitter, bilious temper
Apoplectic acid
Furious venom
Liverish bile.

Breathes exasperation.
Represses hostility;
Feelings of inadequacy.
Overwhelming powerlessness
To act or express
Acrimony, rage and fury.

“How dare they:
Insult me
Dishonor me
Mistreat me
Outrage me
Affront me
Slight me
Shame me
Deride me
Revile me
Vex me
Tease me
Taunt me
Jeer at me
Step on my toes!!!!!!!

You caught it.
But don’t hold on.
It’s rancid!

Re-send back:
Equity
Understanding
Honor
Respect.

Exhale.
