Nothing can describe the frustration I feel~
like faucets turned on full blast
with hot water scalding my eyes
and left flowing until lukewarm.
My emotion drained,
I drown in unexplained reasons
and situations that I don’t understand~
like a nightmare that breathes on my neck…
entirely enveloping me.
I have no freedom to escape it.
I am left alone weeping,
in these chains that choke,
as others around me live
their happy lives of merriment.
They don’t even see,
(or care to, I might add)...
worried only about their own contentment.
Yet I am not one to mope,
so I smile on the outside,
showing others kindness
and listening to problems
that are not mine.
The only thing that brings any joy at the moment
is cheerfully helping…
in giving of myself.
I have totally handed my trust
to one who cares,
and my soul
to one who loves…
but is it too late?
For when I want to draw him near,
disappointment after disappointment
yanks him away…
leaving my heart to dry
in its own salted tears...
and I force a smile.

Thanks for letting us see in...when the flood of emotion can't be held any longer this is a good description of it's painful release. . .yet not letting it take over control of other things. . .only a very giving person can do that
