Outburst

by Amanda J Cobb

Something is going to snap.
The fuse is burning,
the clock is ticking,
and this feeling I've had lately
of wanting to burst out
is growing.
Something drastic has to happen,
something needs to change.
I don't know what
or how,
but it can't stay like this
much longer.
Something has to go.
I'm tired of the same old places,
and bored with the usual things.
I crave something exciting,
something unpredictable,
sudden and bringing flavor
to this blandness
that has become my world.
Something has to change,
something has to go.
I need
to lose
control.

I could feel the pent up need expressed in this work.... made me want to get up and go do something.
