On The Verge

Poetic Enigma on Jul 28, 2011

Just something I wrote when I was feeling down, reminded me of how I used to feel.

So much anger inside,

building, festering

Bottled emotions,

that at any given moment

could explode

On the verge,

of a mental breakdown

All I was looking for was joy,

and instead I was

instilled with hate

Bitter, ugly despair

The monster found me

once again

I can run,

but I can never hide

Believe me,

I have tried

Falling apart at the seams,

I may seem dramatic,

and Darling I am the queen

I swear I am not the devil,

but let me tell you…

I am mean

You have expressed those feelings so well. I hope that you don’t have them as badly any more.
