"If it's not okay, then it's not over." - Anonymous


Emotional outburst of high degree,
Someone tell me what's wrong with me,
Hatred, anger, sadness, then love,
Will someone tell me what they're thinking of?

Dried-up trails of many tears wasted,
How many victims has this feeling tasted?
Featuring friends of the giddiest smile,
While holding their mask while in denial.

It feeds on our sorrow, fuels our hate,
Enforces ideas no one contemplates,
And when it has fed to its soul's content,
Unleashed, we are, left only with resent.

Can it control who I shall become?
Or will effort send the beast back where it's from?
Is it insanity? or am I just sane?
Has all my energy been spent in cruel vain?


The author's comments:
I wrote this while I was grounded quite recently. I was grounded because I tend to become emotionally unstable with my stepfather. I thought that, because I kept exploding, I was insane or something nasty, nonetheless. But, I think that any teen can relate to this and think that we all feel a bit crazy at times.
