We Are Upset

You get angry at me You lash out at me I get awfully scared all over again I'm unprepared like an inkless pen You get angry at me You get me angry I get frightened of my wasted time I feel trapped when I should be free in liberty's passionate prime You said that I don't listen enough Your tone of voice is slightly rough You get so angry at me for an odd reason You get me so upset and I doubt once again I feel lost in the cold this winter I deal with so much hate so bitter It's a freezer in frozen February I'm struggling...surviving barely I am strong for writing this song All along, I was meant to belong Poetry is music and art mixed together I want freedom to flutter inside me, long lost lover You get frustrated with me all the damn time You get mad at me as if I committed a crime This time, I'm gonna stand up for myself and leave your side I need to walk away and smile away your frown of envy and pride Vanity and profanity is what corrupts my heart and mind I'm sorry, God, for all of the thoughtless sins I always did Uncanny ugliness used to mask me with muck left behind I'm sad now, dear, so replace the farewells you bid You get angry at me You lash out at me I cry in the inside I fake it on the outside But, you'll never know How much you hurt me so You'll never find out That my hope has turned to doubt Our lack of satisfaction Brings us low Our lack of true direction Will surely show We are upset We feel regret You get so mad at me You lash out at me Why do you put your fury out on me? There's no need to act out in hostility We are upset and we need to feel happy We are full of regret and act too snappy

Wow! So many feelings went through my soul as I read this one. Poetry is music and art mixed together for sure! But this line tells me you need to get out! "I feel trapped when I should be free in liberty's passionate prime". I hope you have given yourself a bit of distance and freedom, because your soul has cried out for it in this beautiful poem.
