The Weight of Frustration
Poem

In the quiet corners of a crowded mind,
Where dreams collide and hopes unwind,
Frustration blooms like a stubborn weed,
Choking the flowers of thought, planting a seed.
Moments of clarity slip through my hands,
Like grains of sand on shifting lands.
Plans laid out with care and grace,
Now tangled in chaos, lost in the race.
The clock ticks louder, a relentless drum,
Each passing second feels heavy and numb.
Words dance on lips but refuse to take flight,
A battle of silence in the dimming light.
I reach for solutions, but they fade away,
Like whispers of comfort that refuse to stay.
The weight of expectation presses me down,
In the sea of frustration, I start to drown.
Yet in this tempest, a flicker remains,
A spark of resilience through all of the pains.
For frustration, though fierce, is a teacher in guise,
Revealing the strength that within me lies.
I breathe through the tension, I learn to let go,
Embracing the struggle, allowing it to flow.
In the chaos I find a moment of grace,
Transforming frustration into a space.
Where growth can blossom, where lessons unfold,
Turning the heat into something bold.
For in every trial, in each rising tide,
Frustration can be a companion, a guide.
So I'll face the storm with my heart open wide,
Harnessing chaos, letting it ride.
For beyond the frustration, the fog, and the strife,
Lies the promise of growth, the essence of life.
