Frustration

 
Do you ever
Feel that welling up,
That feeling of being
pressed down on

that strange knot

suddenly fall out
but it doesn’t

do you ever
stare out  the window,
looking at nothing
for hours, that feel
like minutes or seconds
or rock in a rocking chair
you don’t even posses.

Involuntary movements

do you ever
feel the darkness
of a lit room
or feel your own death
creep up on you
without batting an eye
or feeling fearful,
not caring if death
comes calling, today

do you ever
feel that your emotions
have no basis in logic,
no rhyme or reason
you start to get angry
or annoyed with self,
feeling so strange,
for not being normal,
not feeling normal
