David William Breidenthal Poet Free verse

Mindless Angst

I don’t need you like that at all,
So don’t even bother giving me a call
I don’t want you and that’s that
I’m like a rat that caught the cat…

I should feel the opposite of rage
I should feel the opposite of anger
I should feel like I give instead of get
I should feel happiness instead of regret
Mindless angst got a hold of me
Mindless angst got a hold of me
Right when you told me I couldn’t be free
Right when you uphold me with captivity   

I get to you…weed you off my mind and I just can’t keep still, keep still, still
I sat on my thumb for hours just to see you leave against my, my will
I’m sorry I let you down
With this pretending smile
I apologize I’m not the one for you
But, you don’t need to want me so badly like you do 

I should feel the opposite of rage
I should feel the opposite of anger
I should feel like I give instead of get
I should feel happiness instead of regret
Mindless angst got a hold of me
Mindless angst got a hold of me
Right when you told me I couldn’t be free
Right when you uphold me with captivity

Mindless angst got a hold of me
Mindless angst got a hold of me
I apologize I’m not the one for you
But, you don’t need to want me so badly like you do 
I should feel the opposite of anger I bet
I should feel like I give instead of get

Mindless angst…
Give or take…
Mindset ache…
Makes me break
Apart from the start 
Like my youthful heart
Torn from being forlorn
I sometimes wish I wasn’t born
Mindless angst…mindlessness makes me hide and descend like a turbulent tide
Makes me feel tribulative hopelessness…deep down, down, down, I drown inside
