Frustrated

Venting --

lashing out

trapped in routine,

thick as mud

begging for cool

rain to wash it away. 

Selfish and frustrated --

I want to think only of myself

and she won't let me.

She carries misery with her

and I grasp for the strings of

joy as they float away over

my head. 

It really is very frustrating.
