When you are angry and mad,

There are some things you can do to help you feel glad.

The first to do it is to name it and feel it,

Ignoring your feelings does not really help one bit.

The next thing is really important, so listen well,

You should not hurt others or at them yell.

It is okay to be mad but not to be mean,

No matter your age whether a kid, adult, or teen.

But how can you feel better from these feelings,

So you do not feel like you are going to burst through the ceiling?

Think of something you like to do,

This could be unique, just like you.

It could be playing a game or having some fun,

Or it could be cuddling or sitting in the shining sun.

Maybe you like to do some art,

It could be jumping and bumping or a movie you start.

There is breathing really deep and slow,

Feeling or listening to the wind blow.

There are so many things you can do,

Make a list of what works for you!

Always remember if you need it, you can talk to a trusted adult, too!
