Woah. I relate to this deeply. Especially that feeling of it always being at the very surface, threatening to spill at any second.
And for some reason, parenting brings up all the suppressed rage I never knew I had. Daily asking God for help in taming it. Thank you for sharing openly, Noah!
I’m so thankful to hear it resonated with you, Rosa! I am right there with you when it comes to parenting but also marriage. I’ve come to learn that parenting is more about controlling my own emotions rather than my kid’s. But God is merciful and will see us through!
Someone close to me really struggles with anger so I’m glad to read this. Love how specific the images are and that you didn’t hold back from being visceral
i struggle with irritation and this really spoke to me. thanks Noah.
You are not alone, Oliver. Thank you for reading! I am happy to hear it resonated with you

Oh yes you capture rage well in your poem. God is teaching me to turn quickly to Him as it wells to give me the peace I so need 🙏
Thank you for reading, Deborah. I have also found that turning quickly to Jesus in the heat of the moment can uproot anger and sow peace!
This is so real. Thank you, Noah!
Thank you for taking the time to read it!!
The struggle with rage is one I know all too well. I have rarely read a poem that gives voice to the lament like this. Bless you, Noah.
