Violent Disagreement

I am not good at being quiet when
A point I disagree with has been raised.
Sometimes I hold my tongue, but even then
The strange disquiet of my face has blazed
Louder than words. And if I speak, I yell
Or am accused of doing so, which I
Can never (on my own I cannot tell
Because I'm always loud) fully deny.
So I try to avoid those places, those
Bad situations where I want to scream.
I'm worried that it means I'm going to close
My self around a self-made episteme
And not engage with what could prove me wrong;
Yet how else should I try to get along?
