Books That Help With Feeling Angry

We all have bad days
Days when nothing goes right
And even when everything does go right
It just feels wrong

We all have grumpy mornings
Overtired evenings
And everyone has the potential
To have one almighty tantrum

Anger affects everyone
And it can be a really scary feeling to feel
A scary emotion to witness
And a tricky one to understand and explain

What makes us cross is unique to us
What makes our tempers flare is personal
Sometimes how we feel is completely out of our control
And we do not always know how to process our feelings
They just shoot out of us
Like fireworks

We might roar
We might howl
We might throw a wobbler

We might rage
See red
Be silent

We all need space and time
And someone to listen

We all need to know that what we feel is okay
Learning to process and talk about how we feel
Is important
For us and for those around us

Talking is not always easy
Listening can be hard

Sometimes we all need
Space and time
And to know that we are not alone
To know that it is not just us
