Frustrated To Death

The feeling in me one of inadequacy 
    The pressure builds boiling my skin to peel
        Coming apart tearing at the seems
            Thoughts run ramped life tragic and frantic
                Pushing me away from my normalcy 
                   The uncontrollable me breathing so heavily 
                       Sweat dripping off of my mentality
Nervously is my charged energy
    I resign it's too late, no more time
        So I lie down to do or die and softly cry
            Wondering why God why am I still alive
                 The revelation haunting me it's so damaging
                     My stomach in my throat where my heart it chokes
                         All the way down to my final breath...and death...

Yes pretty deep the emotions went on this write. I was hoping it would do a little better than it did but I am grateful for the recognition
