Frustration....Ugh...Can't Take it Anymore...Help

Frustration will you ever go away

Can't you leave me alone for just one day

I am so frustrated

Don't underrate it

It is tearing me apart

At least creates this art

But how much can a person take

I am on the brink every move I make

toward losing it just letting it out

I need to scream and shout

Can't get away

home or work any day

both hit hard everyday

frustration hits me hard

in the house or in the yard

hard at work

or at home with the jerk

who is a slob

who needs a job

his name is Bob

emotions rob

makes me tune him out

cuz he goes on and on aggravating me

what can his reason be

where would he be without me

why does he have to torment me

why do I put up with it

why don't I throw him out with all his shit

refuses to bathe, refuses to shave

disgusts me in everyway he possibly can

he is just plain mean man

he is an alcoholic

who drives me to drink

cuz I don't wanna think

about why I put up with him anymore

I want him out of my life forevermore

it's long overdue

anyone who knows me can tell you it's true

I know it too

just don't know what to do

he won't leave so I give up

I am just not strong enough

I need a place to clear my head

I am losing my mind

so I am not kind

I've lashed out and overreacted

can't keep my feelings in check

been held in far too long

and I am not that strong

surprised I managed this far along

God help me I need it

appreciate advice if you read it

please forgive and forget

if you're caught in the crossfire

I will have much to regret

and much of you to admire

a friend's support

never been known to hurt

guess it helps to share

frustration beware

don't fall into this trap

or you'll suffer a heavy rap

Very powerful-even before you reference Bob. You don't need him. You are stronger than you realize and would be better off on your own. You've got the Apollonians in your corner. My heart is with you.

Good poem, why don't you divorce him or something?

I had not seen this one before. Very emotional and I can tell you are at wits end. HOpe it's over soon. You say he is driving you to drink, hopefully this is a catch phrase and not literal because it's not the answer.Have a few with friends to relax but don't get toasted. If he's a boozer let him drown his insecurities but don't let that happen to you. I believe in you ,in your abilities and capabilities,you will get through this and I will be here to listen ...
