The age of six
I have been told
To suck it up.
Whenever
It came
To strong emotions.
Thus
My angry outburst
During therapy
Shocked and angered
Me.
Feeling like
I'm a failure
For releasing
This negative emotion.
As guilt
And anger
Filled me.
In breaking
A taboo
I need removed
From my life.
And yet
It scares me
To do so.
Knowing
Will be forced
To face life
Without this filter.
In all
Of it's rawness
And intensity.

Author's note: Not sure, if I should call this, a breakthrough session, in allowing some of my suppressed anger, to release, in a safe and controlled manner. In the past, people have reacted surprised, when I have let my anger loose. As if, they expect me, to not have any anger, within me, because I am slow to release it.
