This is a poem I wrote in the early 1990s. The speaker is under a lot of stress in their life and is rather unhappy about being under all the stress.
I've taken a lot of scrapes in my life
Been dealt blows by heartache, pain, and strife
I'm not sure how much farther I can go
I'm a time bomb that's ready to blow
It's so hard to live under all this stress
It's making my life a complete mess
I get absolutely no time to rest
'Cause I'm competing with all the best
I've got to try to unleash the fury
That's all bottled up inside of me
Find a way to do it creatively
And get all the fury outside of me
