Mad

I don't like being around when people are mad. Even if they're not mad at me, I still don't like it.

It makes me feel bad.
It upsets me that their upset and there is nothing I can do to help.
And I start thinking of ways I could've been useful, to prevent their anger.
And I end up blaming myself for something that wasn't my fault.
And I makes me feel ashamed.
So I duck my head
And mumble an apology
And leave.

Either that, or it's scary.
Some people get scary when they're mad.
That's worse.
And I want to get away as soon as possible
Because I'm scared.

I don't like being around when people are mad.
