Frustration

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.
