5 Steps to Fighting Anger (a poem to remember) by Dr. Hurt

When you ball up your fist,
stick out your thumb
and that my friend
is Number ONE!
Remember not to hurt at all
Not people, Not toys, Not even the wall

Now take TWO deep breaths and count to ten
And if you're still mad, do it again!
Find THREE other words
for how I feel
So I can learn
just what is real

If nothing else works,
I'll ask FOUR help
Or Take FIVE minutes
to calm myself.
