** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** **
By life's twists and turns,
Royally irritated,
Frustration takes hold.
*
Real disappointment
In being let down again
Causes annoyance
** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** **
It’s hard not to be disappointed
*
When you are constantly let down
**
It is easy to be annoyed
***
If you are always feeling irritated
****
I'm fed up with it all
*****
It makes for an aggravating day
** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** **
A feeling of vexation,
A knot in my chest,
A tightening sensation,
A burden I can't divest.
*
It's like a tangled mess,
A puzzle with no key,
A weight I can't confess,
A storm inside of me.
*
It's a roadblock in my path,
A barrier in my way,
A hindrance in my aftermath,
A dark cloud on a gray day.
*
But I won't let it define me,
I won't let it bring me down,
I'll find the strength to free me,
And turn this frustration around.
*
So I'll take a deep breath,
And I'll start anew,
I'll find a way to cope,
And find my way through.
*
For frustration is a teacher,
It's a lesson to be learned,
It's a fire that can be a preacher,
And a flame that can be yearned.
*
So I'll embrace the frustration,
And I'll let it make me strong,
I'll turn it into motivation,
And I'll prove that I belong.

Frustration is the worst, and also kind of the best
This was extremely powerful! Show frustration who's the boss!
Well said. hang in the, MC.
Well done Mother! You rocked this! It was honest, raw and inspiring!
Love this MC!! Thos last two line were my favourite "I'll turn it into motivation, And I'll prove that I belong."... that's totally what I do!!! This was so relatable and so cleverly done, like always!! Great work!!
Great blend of various poem structures and yet it remains one whole piece. Plus I think I felt this angst before and can relate.
Let's all turn what frustrates us into what pushes us along. Great poems, Sharon.
Yes! Love the positive turn, very motivational. Frustration is a feeling we all go through. Love this.
Love the fighting spirit of this, Sharon. Wishing you a great New Year.
I felt this, especially those last few lines. Trying so hard not to let all the difficulties define me. Hugs and strength to you!!
