Your Anger

Just to let you know
Your anger
Is interesting
To absolutely no one
But you

Now
Nobody's going to tell you that
Because your anger
Intimidates them
Or exhausts them
Frustrates them
Irritates them
Whatever
All of the above
Whatever

But it interests
Nobody

And the greatest scam that was ever perpetuated
Upon a generation
Was letting people your age grow up to believe
That anger
And brooding
And pouting and sulking
And entitlement
Is interesting

It
Is
Not

Passion is interesting
Ambition is interesting
Walking around a room asking people who they are
What they're there for
Being somebody who doesn't sit in an corner
And mope--that's interesting

Your anger
Is not interesting

So you can stay here
In this corner
And let the world dance around you
Or you can go dance with the world
But what you need to know is
The world dances either way

That's how it is
That's how it works
That's the story

Just thought I'd say that
Just thought I'd let you know
