If you look deep within my soul, you will find a beast locked in a cage. It is not from this world and it stares at you with glaring red eyes. It wears no clothes and is chained. I've tried to suppress it and tell it that it's not capable of killing but it only enrages it even more. It will go out of it's way to prove that it's alive and it will manifest itself in often destructive ways such as violence.
I've learned that controlling anger is only a temporary solution to a larger problem. The more i tried to control my anger, the more frightened this side of myself became and enraged it became. That being said, the solution is to release the anger from the dark depths of the cage you keep within your soul.
Cut the chains, clothe this part of yourself, take care of it - learn to love it. I understand the thought of doing this may frighten you if you suffer from anger problems but the more freedom you give the animal from within - the more tame it will be. Be affectionate towards this side of yourself when it misbehaves rather than fear it.
Accept that you as a whole are worthy of love and compassion. Rather than deny that this side of yourself exists, let it out. Nurture it and let it express itself in healthier ways such as art rather than in destructive ones.
