It’s been a little while since I’ve written something new. Finished this vent poem recently about something that happened to me about a month and a half ago. Meant to finish this sooner but life has not been easy lately which is part of why I wrote this poem in the first place.

To Bring Out The Snarl &nbsp;

 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;By: A.X. Bueno&nbsp;

 

 

You go about your day trying to do what needs to be done

 

Traveling to work is already something not fun&nbsp;

 

Lost in your own thoughts with nary a care&nbsp;

 

Banking on people being smarter than needlessly trying to provoke the bear

 

But every once in a while someone will start something for no good reason

 

And you’ve got so much pent up stress you’ve been trying to squeeze in&nbsp;

 

To keep inside but eventually even the chillest bears patience runs thin&nbsp;

 

And you’re not quite cool enough to be able to say that’s you&nbsp;

 

So when someone confronts you and won’t back off some anger comes through&nbsp;

 

Because although you tried to defused things they wouldn’t go away&nbsp;

 

You don’t know why they antagonized you but you snapped and snarled back this day&nbsp;

 

You bared your fangs and you growled and stomped and showed&nbsp;

 

That you had had enough&nbsp;

 

And a glimpse of what would happen if they continued to goad

 

To prove you’re not one to toy with or bluff&nbsp;

 

So you snarled and as moves were made and the encounter continued to transpire&nbsp;

 

You decided to get back to moving along&nbsp;

 

You made your point and don’t want anymore&nbsp; people caught in the crossfire&nbsp;

 

Of these persons issues or yours because that would be wrong&nbsp;

 

You’re only wanting to strike fear so this one person would be gone&nbsp;

 

You don’t want or need to resort to further threats and especially not violence&nbsp;

 

All you wanted was a quick trip to work in peace and with silence&nbsp;

 

Even though it did feel sort of freeing to snarl and let some of the rage through&nbsp;

 

The incidents over now as you’ve decided to end it there&nbsp;

 

And anyway baring your fangs still isn’t something that feels quite like you&nbsp;
