Boiling Over

While boiling water, a playful moment turns heated.
A sharp glare and heavy breathing follow.
What began as teasing escalates into an argument,
and soon, muttered words become harsh insults.
The tension rises, spilling over into physical conflict.
Voices crack and tempers burst like a lid flying off a pot.

Small jokes can quickly turn into fights,
and those fights often boil over into something worse.
That’s why a moment of pause matters.
A wise person knows when to say,
“That’s enough for today,” before things explode.
When we stop in time, the boiling emotions
begin to cool, and calm returns.
