Frustration


Groaning frustration

Your back breaking under the weight of it.

Hot tears spill from your eyes.

You dig a hand through your hair.

 

Spinning

Falling

Twisting

Frustration.

 

Stamping

Angry

Painful

Aggravating

Frustration.

 

You don't understand.

Why won't it work?

Why don't they understand?

Why don't you understand?

 

Slipping

Sliding

Falling down an infinite water slide of twisting intense annoyance.

You don't know if you'll ever resurface from the choking,

bitter,

painful water of frustration.

Hi there! Most of what I do has repetition in it. Like, a lot of repetition. I mostly write short horror/suspense stories, but I've recently taken a shine to dark poetry. I've also managed to orchestrate a full length novel, but it's still in the editing process. A long, long editing process.
