I've never felt this way before
It's my own face on which I've slammed the door
My jelousy has turned me sour
My kidness gone
Replaced with rage and fury and power

I've never stomped the flowers before
But now I just don't care
Their beauty's been erassed from my mind
All I see is a weed in my way, a block to my flair

My fingers are tightening
I'm trying to see
Just why I'm hurting so much
Why I'm so angry

I'm blaming others for stealing my pride
For being better than me
For ruining my step and my stride

I've never felt this hot blast from inside
That shoots out inner pain and
No longer sweet as nectar desires

I will not ask for your forgivness
In my fit of rage
I'll only be like this for a little while
Exhausted and insane

Then, I'll be back to normal
For your sake, and mine
Then, I'll have self confidence
Jelousy will once more inside my soul, hide

A poem that tells it like it is. I know those feelings only too well.

 May your roof never fall in and those beneath it never fall out.

Irish proverb.

Take a few deep breaths, Joy. We've all felt like this at one time or another....or several times. Don't stuff your feelings and hide them inside though, that won't make them go away. You have to face them and deal with them, try to get at the root of the problem and find a good, harmless outlet for them, like writing, talking, exercising, etc. You've expressed your feelings well in this!

I needed got it out right here, Denise.  Thanks John, glad I'm not the only imperfect human being on this earth.  I know...I know...lol!  Of course no one is perfect.

The green-eyed monster!!  Something that has become a part of all of us at one time or another.  Stinks doesn't it??  You've done an excellent job of getting your feelings out with this poem.  Now as Denise says - confront them, deal with them and learn from them.

Good job talking about that monster no one wants to acknowledge lives inside of them.. I like this.

 I awake to a world I don't want. There is no transition for me. I am in heaven. I am in hell.
