Primal Scream...

What is anguish
     but the crying over
a wish that never came true?
     Loss of life, loss of love
loss of what little pride we have left
     What are words
when you need them the most
     they desert you?
Too quick to speak
     but too afraid to choose the wrong word
What is thought
     but a needle in you side
deflating egos
     and humbling pride?
take a deeper look
     in the hole you you're in
and tell me who placed you there?
     sadly, do i know
no one goes where they don't want to
     for whatever reason
though reason may not have much to do with it
     sometimes you just have to get on with it
clear your throat and spit
     the bitterness out...
