A N G E R

I am angry!

I’m chewing on my lip.

I feel like I want to kick something.

My face is flaming hot red.

 

ARRRRGH!

I snatch my pencils and draw a picture

that expresses myself

I want to destroy the world

I’m shouting nasty things to myself

I crawl into a corner and cry a little bit.

 

I’m angry at everybody.

It’s not fair I think to myself.

My stuffed animals get bashed against the wall

as I throw them.

 

One two three four five six seven eight nine ten…
