Tug of War

I'm  mad because I'm angry
I'm sad because I'm mad.
These layers of my psyche
Do go 'round and 'round my head.

I've got shame about my blame.
This messes with my brain.
Emotions seem to push and shove
Demanding to be known and loved.

Their clanging, banging
Sound deranging
Of my inner life
Displaying

Hurt, unrest and discontent
Not knowing how to circumvent,
Or God forbid to feel through.
Emotions have an end? Who knew?!
