How do I relieve the frustration that keeps getting trapped underneath my skin
I suppress it for a long time, but every now & then I gotta give in
I start scratching and clawing, but I'm free, its just this body of mine
How do you escape the reality of everything that's stored in your mind

Sometimes it's like I'm a battery--I'm drained and then I get charged
Up to do everything, then down cause the going got tough
Now I'm left in a state of emotion--cry, whine, sit & complain
Bang my head 'gainst the wall a few times--it doesn't matter, the results are the same

Can you blame me for wanting to run so fast that I eventually escape from my skin
I'm not like this all the time, but it's how I was and it still has a head
Now I'm cussin' & fussin'
Ranting & raving til I'm blue in the face
Now I remember why when I was younger I wanted so badly to get out of this place

Oh, in a state of emotion something so individualistic can bring you down
Chemicals are set off in my body, but it's me that they try to relax
Keep on feeding me little pills, increase the dosage til I'm ok to let go
Try to find some normalcy, I'm sick of trying and fed up with it though...

Oh, in a state of emotion--cry, whine, sit & complain
Bang my head 'gainst the wall a few times,
keep on doing it hoping the results will change
I find that it gets me nowhere, but it sometimes dulls the pain
Biggest rollercoaster I ever road is the one running round in my brain

I so love this line...and can relate sometimes.

Nice, Left Field. Emotionally moving.

Wow...that would be great lyric's for a song. You play keyboard or anything? I'd like to hear that one...kinda humming it now...LMAO.

Great Poem Babe
(you know where I am *blows you a kiss*)

Thank you ladies. (right back at you Themis )

She-ra....I want to learn to play the guitar--I tried for 2 years when I was about 13, but it didn't work out...I may give it another go at some point though.

As for the poem, it actually is a song in my head. I have a bunch of poems like that. I write them as poems, but the whole time writing I'm humming it out as a song playing through my head. Even when I go back and read ones I wrote like that I still end up reading them with the song I created playing in my head as I read the words. You're the first person to ever tell me it came off that way to you....kinda neat to hear that from someone about something I wrote.
