Way #2: Taming Criticism, Anger + Blame

Taming Criticism, Anger and Blame:

If there were more no-fault marriages, there would be fewer no-fault divorces.
— Cheryl and Bob

Criticism, Anger, Blame

Criticism, anger, blame
All affect us much the same
Sucking tender closeness dry
Leaving our defenses high

Taming criticism best?
Turn it into a request
Blame has such a minus gain
That we simply must refrain

Anger can be tamed as well
Share it but there’s more to tell
Underneath is hurt or fear
Sharing that can bring us near

Closeness is a precious gift
Subject to distracted drift
Let’s at least agree to tame
Criticism, anger, blame
