A Query for the Wise

I don’t know what to do with my emotions,
heart racing through my chest!
Can I stop the madness? Should I take a pill (or ten)?
Or is this just one more of life’s tests?

The anxiety rips me to shreds, always wondering
at the end of the day when I’ll break?
Two seconds away from crying or screaming, but still
this might be what life takes…?

Just one more day, one more week – I can do it!
I am trying – and I know I ought!
I’ll get through it – well, everyone else does!
If I could only stop these wretched thoughts!

If I could unwind, unplug – shut down and
let it all be what it is!
Stop painting the sign of the ultimate failure
like fire-engine red on my lips.

But I don’t know what to do with my emotions,
who to turn to, to ask for advice?
When am I past my breaking point? Tell me!
I’m asking you now, really nice.

Never mind me, I’m just venting after a rough few days.

Endlessly Frustrating

Endlessly frustrating
it frustrates me endlessly!
Oh, so irritating
irritation now complete!
Words much too elusive
and I need them to achieve!
Endlessly frustrating
it frustrates me endlessly!

Totally annoying,
it annoys me totally!
Oh, so irritating
irritation now complete!
Words too hard to find
and I need them instantly!
Totally annoying,
it annoys me totally!

Have you ever been there
where you just can’t find the word?
Have you ever sat there full of
songs that won’t be heard?
Have you ever felt as if
your life is slipping by?
Just because you lack the words
to scream out ‘that’s a lie’?
Have you ever been there
bogged down in frustration deep?
Simply because words elude you
even in your sleep…

As English is not my first language I sometimes struggle to find those words that are just out of reach for me, so when Mindlovemisery’s Menagerie asked us, in today’s Prompt 56 – Indescribable Frustration, to tackle frustration this is where I went. I should perhaps point out that I sometimes have the same difficulty finding words in my mother tongue as well… *smile*

No, no, no!

No, no, no! Kicking and screaming I fall to the floor.
No, no, NO! It just isn’t fair!

No, no, no! I forget I am no longer four years old.
No, no, NO! This isn’t fair!

No, no, no! All the angry frustration bursts out.
No, no, NO! It’s just not right!

No, no, no! To hide the fear and the pain, I cry!
No, no, NO! This isn’t right!

No, no, no! Exhausted I lie here and stare, empty.
No, no, NO! This isn’t fair!

No, no, no! Drained of emotion, finally I weep!
No, no, NO! It just isn’t fair!
