too tired
to be angry
anymore
anger is
self destructive
eats away at you
you can still fight
armed
with smiles
laughter
silliness
kindness

as my nana
used to say
to her hot headed
wilful stroppy granddaughter
you draw more flies
to the honey
than to the vinegar
"you can still fight

I agree sometimes anger feels like it takes too much energy - one of the perks of getting older and mellower perhaps - and thank you for your kind comment too - Jae
