Lamentations of a layman

when I a younger man, I was often the victim of bullies and fighting because I was always the tallest kid in class. (Currently 6'11) So much of my childhood was full of defending myself and resulting detention from such defenses.. As time went on we all got older and the fighting and bullying wained. But for me, anger and frustration bubbles in me and sometimes overflows in my work and my home life. I have done well in my 28 years of existence in the world to contain the beast within as it were. But for some reason no matter how hard I try and struggle the beast within is rearing it's face and I lose control and my anger flares up and My mouth follows suit and people get hurt by my razor sharp words. I hate when I'm like that and it does no good me or anyone around me but I'm at a loss of what to do. sometimes the frustration with myself at my inability to exercise self control can bring me to tears. I long to be peaceful, content and calm, but I think I do not have the tools to find the comfortable center when I am choking on my anger. I'm at a loss anymore of what to do or where to turn. I refuse to conceed to any sort of pharmaceutical answer and I believe it's a bandaid on a bullet hole. I write this as a bit of self therapy.. something to reflect on myself as I stuggle to find peace in the tumultuous seas of my psyche. No comments are needed but I welcome any advise.

I have been to events and gatherings around here there are a few at camp zoe (outside of schwagstock which is a mixed bag) and I find peace and moments of calm tranquility. but as with all things it passes..and I'm back to the mainstream.. Perhaps my blog was a tad misleading, as it's not a "all the time thing" I've done well to keep myself centered and for a while I thought I had surpassed it and have move forward. But lately it comes full force and without any sort of stimulus to trigger it. I just feel lost in regards to understanding it. I believe what I have found through meditation until I do understand it I will never truly be free.. It's just a long fought road and My legs are weary.. But thank you for your words brother. It is appreciated.
