I feel like a lion When it paces the cage. With pent up frustrations And feelings of rage. Such mixed emotions Don't know what to do. And no understanding When I explain them to you. Things that are happy Instead make me cry. And what should bring joy Brings tears to my eyes. I try to explain it Just don't know how. Even I don't understand These feelings I've now. They give me no warning Come out of the blue. I'm down in the dumps And lash out at you. They seem to flood over Like waves in the sea. These feelings of sadness Just wash over me. I feel so depressed For no reason it seems. The tears will start flowing In river and streams. I can't explain it No reason to give. Hope when it passes That you will forgive.

We do that sometimes, don't we? No rhyme...no reason...we lash out at those who deserve it the least and don't know why. And yes, we hope they'll forgive us afterward.Good thoughts. |

Loved the last stanza ... who among us can say they've never had to think that very same thing? Thank you ... I enjoyed this. Nocht ------------------ "Nunc lento sonitu dicunt, morierus" (Now as I hear this bell tolling softly for another, it says to me, "Thou must die.") |

WhtDove, you and I had a simular thought today. I posted "Stuck In Emotion". Even our ending was a simular thought...how bazzar! GOOD WORK. ------------------ Julie ------------------------- Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.

Ahh, you've explained me very well, WhtDove..this really struck a chord. After all, I have been dubbed the 'emotional wacko'...Exellent, Exellent work. ------------------ *Krista Knutson* Mockery is a form of ignorance; silence, a form of wisdom. -- Daniel L. Miller |

Its hard sometimes to understand why we feel depressed for no reason at all, but it does happen I really enjoyed the poem WhtDove, Well done!  ------------------ What comes from the heart goes to the heart. Samuel Coleridge |

this was nice........i understand what is like to want to break away from sadness. but sometimes, she just acts like an old friend and keeps you down. and sometimes, you don't leave her side. i hope that your efforts succeed |

Excellent poem, WhtDove!! I know there are days when my cats scurry for hidey holes when I tear through the house! LOL. And then they venture out, only to be soaked with my tears. |
