Controlled Emotions

Photo By: Stiefi @ PhotoXpress

Initially I wanted to lose my temper, get loud, and get bold

But then I realized the situation was not one that I could control

What had been done had already happened to me

There was no way to undo it or control it, you see

But what I could control was the way I decided to react

So I chose to keep my emotions and my feelings intact

Deciding to take the higher road meant being more mature

And I recognized that there was something to being more demure

I chose to look at the situation in a more retrospective light

In the past I would’ve used more energy just to start up a fight

Today I could use that energy in a more positive way

And that situation that happened didn’t have to ruin my day

So I now choose to look at situations as a blessing in disguise

And I try to figure out the lesson from which I could arise

Instead of raging out of control and expelling negative energy

To allow the situation and my reaction to create positive synergy
