Frustration

It's a poem about a child throwing a fit. My next project will be to illustrate it.

Frustration

Sometimes I get so frustrated

That I can hardly speak

My mind goes blank, my head gets hot

My legs get very weak

 

I throw my things across the room

I ball my fists and roar

I stomp my feet with all my might

And then I slam my door

 

I punch my wall but not so hard

That I would make a hole

I won’t destroy the things I own

‘Cause I have self-control

 

Sometimes I get so frustrated

I don’t know what to do

I’m starting to get tired of this

I need to think things through

 

I think about what upset me

And how I can calm down

I take one mighty deep breath in

Let’s turn this day around

 

I’ll start with cleaning up my mess

I go to get the broom

I’ll sweep the floors, and wipe the walls

I need to clean my room

 

I put my toys back in the bin

Back where they each belong

My temper tantrum is over today

Because I am so strong

 

So, when you get so frustrated

That you just need to snap

Take a moment to take a deep breathe

And maybe take a nap

Apart from a couple of lines (literally just 2) that have musicality issues, this poem is B - R - E - L-liant! I love the progression, the humour, and that "self-control" to take a breath, clean up, and then "take a nap". Marvellous! Couldn't contain my laughter in a couple of places, because the lines were just perfect! Well freaking done! Good theme, too!
