Analysis of Anger
Finding a person in bed with your spouse.
Watching as flames burn down you house.
Getting a paper cut that hurts all day.
Being cut off by an eighteen wheeler
when you had the right of way.
Turning on the kitchen faucet
and feeling hot scalding water.
Someone saying "cute boy
when it's really your daughter.
Watching your favorite team
as they are being beat.
Bird dropping on you car
as it is parked on the street.
The sing on you lip burning
as you drink the morning coffee.
Slipping on black ice
then falling on you knee.
Bill collectors ringing your phone
when you just want to be left alone.
Being judged by the color
that is showing on you skin.
You feel you should belong
but they just won't let you in.
Getting a flat tire
when you have no spare.
Waking in the morning
brushin knots from your hair.
Walking in a closet
and stepping on a hanger.
These are some events
that cause the emotion of anger.
