Raging sea in a glass

I was sitting still

With a mind so calm

The scale of my worries was almost nil

When something forced me to curl up my palm

Matters of the past 

Are not too onerus to forget

Unless people conspire to make them last

Twisting the knife in the wound without any sweat

My life was haunted by a bete noire

Who always put me in a black mood

All the escape gates were way too far

Mere agony was all my heart could exude

I bottled up my rage

Like a stagnant river

From no place could it percolate

Or else the damage would make you shiver

Brooding over the mess a thousand times 

Prohibiting the urge to commit any crime

I decided to spill my fury on paper

And it all evaporated like water emits vapour

It is easy to demolish a well- furnished house into a huge pile of rubble

To ripple up a serene lake by thrashing it witha bunch of pebbles

To build it back demands courage so immense

Just like a dam is built to hold the gushing waves so intense

Diverting your emotions like small waves in a sea

Causes less harm than blurting into a tsunami

You can raise your dignity, earn respect and be carefree 

Isn't that how you pictured it to be?
