When the “F” word
Is at the tip of my tongue
And I’m fighting hard
To shove it back in,
Sometimes I growl!
When the anger builds
And I’m consciously
Trying to count to ten,
Sometimes I growl.
When she knows
I’m at my limit,
But she keeps
Pressing all my buttons,
Sometimes I growl.
When frustration is
The “F” word of the day
And nothing’s going right,
Sometimes I growl.
When the walls
Of this tiny room
Feel like they’re closing in,
Sometimes I growl.
When I want to cry
But I’m tired of the tears
And just ready for a turning point,
Sometimes I growl.
When pent up desire
turns to agony
And needs an escape
Lest I burst,
Sometimes I growl.
When I’ve done all I can
And there’s nothing more
I can do,
Sometimes I growl.
Like a mama bear
Frustrated with her cubs
Who just don’t seem to understand,
Yes, sometimes I growl.

Growling is so fun ngl. It really lets you bring out the pain and agony even though it makes you sound like an animal sometimes. 😦 Oh well 🙂

In my opinion we’re just animals that can speak 😁
But yes, it does release the tension.
How are you today?
