Nervous with my fists clenched so tight
Gripping the armrest and sweating
Anxiety brings much fretting
////
Holding anger in with great might
Restraining my tongue from blurting
Saying things that could cause hurting
////
This process gives me a real fright
Trembling I say a silent prayer
Please remove your cold sullen stare
////
Stopping me is really not right
Placing a dam blocking my plans
From my life please remove your hands
////
When I speak out I see the light
I am my closest and best friend
Be with myself until the end

Sweetie..I’m not sure about the constanza (?) format, but I dig what you say about when/how to release or to keep in anger/frustration/fear. That’s what all resentment and anger boil down to is FEAR.
