Keeping My Temper in Check
Only a few know that I have a pretty bad temper but I pretty much have it in check these days.
Puberty at 15 brought along good things like growth in height amongst growth in other areas but temper came along with all the hormonal changes. It was not apparent at that point in time to me that it was the hormones working my brain and I was angry at the world and I assumed the people in it are all bloody assholes trying to pull a fast one on me.
I got into quarrels over soccer games, pissed schoolmates off on purpose, and did things my mother wouldn’t be proud of.
I am pretty meek these days but I do find that my temper is not gone but bottled up instead. I fully understand the trouble I can get into if I let my temper take over but my patience for some people can only go so far.
So I will do my part by keeping the temper in a bottle. Just don’t rub me the wrong way repeatedly or I’ll just let the temper out to rape your ass.
