Emotional Pressure

A constant pressure builds inside
So soon I must release it outside of me
It soon gets too great to hide
I remove it from within, a sight to see globally

I am torn away from approval
Simply for removing the pain in me
I am looked upon with disapproval
For being the man I'm envisioned to be

One can only hold on so long
Until they begin to explode
The pain inside gets too strong
It must be released, before it erodes

Mentally, physically
Your emotions can consume
Need to find a release to this..
Better to live shunned than die approved!

    I plan to revise this poem: please leave constructive criticism!

    being bipolar I usually have no other outlet but to scream.

    I saw that you said that in your comment, and I can relate to that. I've suffered with being bi-polar for as long as I can remember. This is great poem, deep thoughts here.

    Another fantastic piece. The emotions are so true. Let the pain go. Imagine.. the pain as ashes and throwing them into the ocean. Never to return again. I dig this a lot.

    • I was just sitting here, and this came to me at random.

      I envisioned a man tormented by all kinds of terrible emotions, and he bottled them up inside of himself to the point he would begin to swell physically and nearly explode...so that when he finally did, the energy released was visible on a global scale.

      I suppose this was a manifestation of my thoughts on keeping things within, and the consequences behind it..

      Also, I've been so frustrated before by my emotions, and being bipolar I usually have no other outlet but to scream. In this area, I'm already kind of an outcast for my lifestyle choice, people have called me a vampire before, etc.

      Whatever though, this is my life, I'll cope however I can.
