I am accused of having a temper, maybe they are right but is it so wrong to have a temper?

Is temper just an emotional outburst or is it a vehement declaration of firm intentions? Or maybe it is the fire that burns within me, a fire that lights up the path for me. Maybe it is a fire that cleanses all the negativity that rises when I hear what some people say or intend. Maybe it is a flame that burns all those snide remarks -not thin enough, not fair enough not malleable enough, not...

Maybe it is the glowing embers of the ashes from which I shall rise, like a phoenix, yet again.
