Frustration
An Acrostic (Yeah, I know...I'm addicted...judge me all you like)
Festering feverish feelings without relief - despite how hard Im try.
Ripping and rupturing my concentration, roping me into an irritating cycle
Useless in this state, I am.
Staggering and stammering
trying to fight back to get
relief, release and respite
are eluding me for now
the ultimate solution
is not one I want to choose, but
one I need to choose
need to dull out the frustration and irritation - then I can sleep and calm and forget - at least until I wake again

Thank you for reading!
Yes, I legitimately have an acrostic addiction. I am an acrosticoholic?
This acrostic - kind of an experiment for a larger project idea I have of jumping off the back of some key pieces from the Dancing with Distraction Challenge. Thinking of working on a book of acrostics.
We'll see.
Anyway, hope you enjoyed this one.
