~Ethan Gao, Class of 2023

No emotion can be more easily accessible than anger
Anger is a feeling that quells all others
Anger compels one to speak his soul out,
Yet it has shows no result
A fool’s mouth is his destruction

It tastes like a throat of lead gaining weight,
Restricting your every movement
A soft word turns away wrath

It smells like a cold sweat,
Created from the feeling of restlessness
Calmness will lay great offenses to rest

It looks like a huge crowd,
A single sentiment is insignificant 
It is to one’s glory to overlook an offense

It sounds like a numbing ring,
All other sounds drowned out
Anger resides in the lap of fools

It feels like an unyielding back itch,
Never to be relieved.
Better a patient person than a warrior,
One with self-control than one who takes a city.
