falling off the angelic wagon

you go on
a long stretch of being nice,
kind
and compassionate,
like your mother 
and church taught you,
never saying
a bad word about anyone,
though they
might deserve it,
you turn
the other cheek,
you ignore
slights,
and insults.
you are a duck and 
the world 
you live in is
all water rolling
off your back,
but then you slip up,
you unexpectedly snap.
you have a bad day,
a bad moment.
a curse slips from
your lips,
a thought, dark, and
almost evil
clouds your mind.
you've fallen off
the angelic wagon
once more.
