Nice Girls Don’t Get Angry. Ooof. Felt that one deep. “because all I want is for you to think I’m nice.”

“I’m fine. I’m just ignoring my friend who tells

me this is not okay.” Oof. I am totally guilty of this. That anger poem was visceral.

Thanks! Me too! I’ve been reading Spurgeon’s devotional on the Psalms and listening to Poor Bishop Hooper’s Psalms album so that’s probably why it’s coming out in my poetry

Your last poem made me feel so angry I was literally tense in my jaw while reading. So good. It’s inspiring me to write a poem on anger.

Love this all so much. So many images that are going to linger and give me lots to think about (in the best ways)!
