I Killed Rage

Few years ago,

I could be called rage

And rightly so.

Some days ago,

I knew more with age,

And left rage to go.

I transformed into calm,

Became the feel of a soothing balm.

Like the deeper waters

That throw no arms but could drown you,

I play no boxer

And help brains into my arms.

The lessons weren't hard

I learned all in my backyard

It was my mind

I walled it and it held me bind

But I got it to obey

And I'm no longer its slave.
