Simmering

They're always simmering below the surface, bubbling around in my brain. Those niggling things I want to say, that I think about while I'm dripping sweat in the sauna or riding the T. The things that I have to say before they boil over, before I create some ridiculous drama that's unrelated to the real issue at hand. Before I get all passive aggressive and dream up "punishments" that I'll never be able to follow through with. Because I don't want to mete out punishment. I want to hash it out, get a response, know where I stand.

But sometimes that doesn't work, even when I try my best. So I guess when that happens I just need to wait it out, and make sure the heat's turned down low.
