Frustration

Life can get the best of us all.

Have you ever been frustrated to the end of all wits?

Ever felt as if you merely a twit?

Then my friend perhaps you have found the hope of a fool.

Dangling from the tail of a rainbow.

 

The spectrum fading and smeared.

While all the while you stared endlessly up a promises rear.

No lucky Irish man to sing and dance.

Only a fat fool with suspenders and pants.

 

You find yourself coming here and wondering

Why the hell you ever desired the thoughts you were pondering?

Come one come all. To this grand illusion we call life.

See a single man watch the joys of a wife.

 

 

The nights cold and alone.

These frigid hands are hardened to stone.

So, again I ask one more time.

Do you not see the life of love's mime.

 

Living in a invisible box.

Watching those from outside throwing rocks.

Hearing them as they crash through the pane.

For my illusion has begun to drive me insane.

You have quite a few awesome lines in here... "No lucky Irish man to sing and dance. Only a fat fool with suspenders and pants." "Living in an invisible box, watching those from outside throwing rocks." I particularly loved these two; they are the kind of lines you didn't realize you were searching for, but when you read them, they hit the nail on the head! Nice job! :)

The last line is deep and hit me like a ton of bricks. Wish I would have thought of that. Clever wording there. Good job on this write.
