ANGER AND STOMA.<br><br>
When I first had an ostomy <br />an anger burst came over me.<br />there’s nothing I could do anew<br />as something in that anger grew.<br><br>
Like the spores of any fungus<br />anger’s always there among us.<br />When once it shows and starts to grow<br />it has an exponential flow.<br><br>
It waits until the climate’s right<br />then strikes at us with all it’s might.<br />So on the whole it takes its toll<br />and mushrooms way out of control.<br><br>
It spread around my tiny brain<br />like dry-rot in the ground with rain.<br />Seeping along through every crack<br />I think it’s gone but it creeps back.<br><br>
Anger’s such a strong emotion <br />causing chaos and commotion.<br />It toys with us and makes us tense<br />and can destroy our common-sense.<br><br>
The curse of anger’s happenstance <br />can be much worse with circumstance.<br />And as a stoma’s an ordeal<br />that makes anger feel more real.<br><br>
I think most of my anger was<br />directed back at me because<br />my stoma took control of me<br />and that’s not the way it ought to be.<br><br>
But now I’m in control of it<br />and calculated the profit.<br />I’ve balanced that with what it’s cost<br />and think I’ve gained more than I lost.<br><br>
