Frustration - Poem


Indecision - Composer: Cal Jennings


Frustration

A fiece beast
Stalking, pouncing, scratching
Trying to destroy
I try to evade its capture
But the beast presses on
Taunting, snickering, growling
I try to leap out of its path
But its claws grab my ankles
Tripping me
I put out my hands to break the fall
It drags me backward
My face dragging the dirt
I slip from its claws
I try to escape
I feel it's warm breath on the nape of my neck
I long for the chase to end
For it to wipe me out
With one stroke of its claw
Or bite of its teeth
But the end is not in site
