Feelings of Frustration

I feel trapped but if I break free then I'm only running

Away from the issue just avoiding and hiding

Is it better to run and hide or stay locked in a cage

How do I escape when the cage is my brain

Oh how I hate being stuck between a rock and a hard place

More questions than answers is what I'm left with always

So frustrated with me

Though we are the only ones who can solve the mystery

By we I mean me myself and I

Steady searching for the courage to come into the light

The light I can can only seem to dream about

I know what it will take but still I scream and shout

About ******** because I'm so full of it

Full of all this fear and doubt

No amount of self help or advice seems to work it out

Only tears escape as they drip down

Caught in the crevices of my perpetual frown

Smile! They say it's so becoming of you

How can I smile with your ugly mug in my view

So sue me I'm mean and bitter cuz I'm tired of being sweet

All that seems to get me is under everybody's feet

Feelings ain't all they cracked up to be

Maybe it really is better to only live for me
