I’ve filled myself up
With anger and bile
Irritated, impatient
Another tired child
I let my voice rise
My heart skips its beats
My breath comes in sighs
My eyes twitch and tweak
I know that I need
To rest, ease, and still
But until I can
My tone will be shrill

I’ve filled myself up
With anger and bile
Irritated, impatient
Another tired child
I let my voice rise
My heart skips its beats
My breath comes in sighs
My eyes twitch and tweak
I know that I need
To rest, ease, and still
But until I can
My tone will be shrill
Thanks for reading!
