The Pre-Winter Construct Cup

My Tantrum

As I slam the door
The glass shatters and falls
Like frozen ice pellets to the floor.
Here I can let loose the roar
And let the swearing ensue.
Let the frustration run wild
As every dimwit and arse
have managed to find me
And make my life
A slow moving hell!
From the pokie shoppers
Who stroll arm and arm
Stretched out across the isle
I cannot pass, I cannot push
I have remained.... civil.
Until now....
To the drivers that can't make up their mind
I slowly seeth and bite my tongue
When what I really want to do
Is run them off the road...
But instead... I have remained.... civil.
Until now....
Locked away in this room
I can toss anything within reach
And throw the biggest, baddest
Whirlwind tantrum
You have ever experienced.
Throwing my body down on the ground
Thrashing and scratching
Swearing and pounding
Until at last...
A exhausted calm comes over me
And as the tears dry up in pools under my chin
I fall asleep
Praying that I can remain
Within the confines of societal expectation....
C I V I L.

Lines = 36.


I must admit... I do feel much better.

Day 29 ▼

Theme:Bah Humbug! There's this marvelous room over here where one can (temporarily) crawl in, slam the door and, without getting into any trouble at all, let out all the holiday frustrations, people getting on your nerves (no names, now!) and just 'stuff' in general that is spazzing you out! There's things in here you can smash to smithereens (and will be magically repaired later) and throw at walls. Just a place to rant and get it out of your system so you can go back to being your normal, marvelous, holiday self!

Words to use: I want to hear things crashing and banging. I want to see stuff smashed to smithereens! What do you smash, bash and crash? How? With what?
If you rant and rave against a person … that person's name will be Cruella D'Vile or Ginchly Mc Green.
Against a company, use: Scrooge-a-zon.
Against a 'thing' - what ever the thing is.
Remember, all things broken will be fixed and it isn't 'really' that company or person you decimate, it's allllll in your mind. Walking out of the room, and all is as it was, you've just released the tension. :)
Rhyming or not, at least 28 lines, and go get rid of some tension :)

This got an honourable mention in the Open Expressions contest - "Invalid Item"
