Just scream

 
Feelings welling up inside...  
balled up but expanding.
rising... feel like 
I'm exploding.
 
Frustration and lack of...
control and connection
not knowing what to do,
or how to deal with...
 
the increasing agitation.
Anxiety, hyperactivity,
like spiders running 
round inside me.
 
Wish I could throw 
my head back
and just scream,
and scream and scream.
 
A prickly heat that's  
itchy... twitchy and restless
it's bubbling,
boiling over, cant keep still.
 
A volcano erupting - 
gushing forth 
pouring out all the
disappointment.
 
So many regrets...
and so many wishes 
unfulfilled that I just 
can't keep them in...
 
I need to just...
release it all
and then I... scream 
and scream and scream!!!

I once had a friend who told me that when things got too much, she would occasionally rush upstairs and stick her head in the airing cupboard and scream. She said she felt better afterwards, so I tried it, and it did me good. Good thing is, a good scream lets out built frustration, as long as we don't make it worse by screaming at an undererving to person - which can happen when we hold all the emotions back for too long. Better to get rid of the cause - where possible, but in the mean time - go for it - scream, and I might join you, depending on the size of your airing cupboard. 

Nice to see you writing again. Keep writing it out. Great poem!

Fantastic build up to the final 'screaming' stanza. Think we all need that release sometimes :)
