A little patience, heart commands
a pause instructs my mind.
I pay no attention,
it is now and at once
commence with a bang,
Turning at times hysterical
like a mad dog,
I wag my tongue
harsh and rude
like a hungry tiger.
Blood shot eyes,
expressive of indignation
enhance my seething
temper and I appear
more or less like a devil.

Re: The Devil In Me
I like the brevity of this. I love S2. If it were my choice, I would go with just S2. I’ve never read a Tiger reference like this one.

Re: The Devil In Me
I think we all have it, but control it or try to.
Good to see you posting, Meena.
A little patience, my heart commands [I like the contrast, the heart says patience, the id doesn't listen]
a pause, instructs my mind.
I pay no attention,
it is now and at once
commence with a bang, [instead of commence, a refined word, how about blow off] or blow-up? I blow up with a bang.
Turning at times hysterical [maybe: turning hysterical at times]
like a mad dog,
I wag my tongue [maybe: my tongue lashes out]
harsh and rude
like a hungry tiger.
Blood shot eyes,
expressive of indignation
enhance my seething
temper and I appear
more or less like a devil.
