Frustration
by Sam M. Phillips

I’m in agony,
Snakes twist inside of me,
Cannot hide from raging thunder,
Wonder when this feeling might cease,
Peace kept from me,
There is no help for me,
Have no words,
Just movement of pen,
No art,
Cart me away,
Throw me on the trash heap,
Leap of faith impossible,
I’m reprehensible,
No sensible structure within,
Whim of chaotic climate,
I am a primate,
A slave to nature,
Rapture ripped from my grip,
I slip,
Unable to sip from the cup,
Time is up,
I erupt,
A volcano,
I destroy,
A tornado,
I hate being here,
You have every reason to fear
As I draw near,
I steer a heavy load,
Ready to explode,
The slightest touch
Might prove too much,
Such agony of agitation
Brought on by frustration.
