Rubber Band Mind
I don't know what happened, not sure where I went wrong
I guess I should have stayed with it and learned to play along
My mind is like a rubber band being stretched slowly and thin
As I snap back, contact my stretch, I can start me new again
Me without the pressures of this everyday life
Or the tiny little words they say that cut me like a knife
But that peace lives very shortly like a break while you're at work
Until life begins to stretch again watching you struggle with a smirk
Every sentence seems malicious though the words are quite benign
I try to keep anger reserved, try and keep my stress resigned
So, once again I sit here waiting for my next refreshing snap
until life continues pulling, I can feel me break! "OH CRAP!!"
