Found It

RDP Monday: TEMPER

MYRIAM LAPLANTE

When I was growing up

my Mom used to tell me I had my Dad’s temper,

my Dad used to tell me I had my Mom’s temper

you could say

they were both right because it seems like

they lost their tempers whenever they  saw ‘that look on my face’

or I opened my mouth and my voice hit their ears

and I guess I picked up their tempers

that they lost around me

and I kept them for my own, where they made a home

in the coldest places of my heart.
