Something Soupy

Something soupy
A dollop of droopy
That’s what describes my day

Something failed
An idea derailed
Things aren’t going my way

A harrowing mess
Oh the distress
If only I could just start over

But the time it would take
Oh what a mistake
Trying to keep my composure

Can any of you relate
By these feelings of frustrate
Ever feel like burying your head?

Why do we even begin
Bearing an idea within
When we could’ve stayed in bed

Firestorm

Anger casually rises
Brimming to the top
Soon boiling over
Flaming arrows just won’t stop

Hitting their mark
Distressing pleas fill the room
This is their life
Another typical afternoon
