Helpless

By Casey

Frustration burns red hot inside of me

The flames of sheer anger once again ignited

Growing tired of the constant outbursts

That continuously drag me down

It is not my problem to endure

Surely I can get by on my own

I watch as people beside me crumble

And I know that all will be lost

Too many times these occurrences begin

Every time proving critical to those around me

All I want to do is scream at them to stop

But who would ever listen to my problems?

I retreat to my very own haven

Struggling to regain the sanction I hold

My emotions become too much for me to bear

And I ultimately fall into a sobbing heap

The rest of my life relies on these years

It is vital and I need to take control

Yet with all that happens around me

I fear the control will never be gained
