Count to Ten

It happened a year ago,
on my usual ride.
An overzealous pick up truck
passed too close,
brushing my left side.
The impact nearly knocked me off,
I wasn’t hurt but I
decided right then and there,
my keys would make a design.

But by the time I caught up,
so much time had passed,
the hate, it couldn’t last.

If I do not train my mind
to take the time
to question it’s reaction,
I will certainly come to find
myself in a bind
brought by my actions.
I don’t want to start a fight,
but in the heat of the night,
in a fit passion,
deep in my mind
I start to pine.

Count to ten.

To interrupt my nature.

Cause I can be irrational.
Fueled by rage.
My overactive sense of justice
drives me insane.
No matter if I’ll make a difference,
caught up in the persistence.

But it’s always better,
to take a couple breaths.
Give the hate a beautiful death.

Let it jump out the window.
Let everything go.
Let everything go

because I know,

if I do not train my mind
to take the time
to question it’s reaction,
I will certainly come to find
myself in a bind
brought by my actions.
I don’t want to start a fight,
but in the heat of the night,
in a fit passion,
deep in my mind
I start to pine.

No time.
Must fight.
Ignite.

No time.

Must fight.

Ignite
the sky.

Count to ten.

To interrupt my nature,
reason I will favor.
