Angst!

Angst! Angst!
This world plays pranks
So I give Him no thanks

My soul as it exposes
It’s acerbic penned proses
Like some foul smelling roses

I’m avoiding alliterations
Offering rationalizations
Through emotional masturbations

I’m aborting justification
And refuting propitiation
While embracing my medication

Angst! Angst!
This world plays pranks
You can have it no thanks.

With my wooden eyes
Effective disguise
The real pain inside

Please excuse this heartfelt prostration
My exasperated frustration
Performed for your appreciation

So my pain I use
My persuading muse
She leaves me abused

Or perhaps this has all been a sham
Like a masterfully played out hand
So excuse me, this isn’t who I am.
