Turmoil

1st ENTRY

Inner turmoil boiling over,

The stove over heating,

I'm eating from another plate,

Looking straight into the pot,

I can feel how hot it's getting,

I'm sitting right in the middle,

A little of this,

A little of that,

I keep adding stuff to the vat,

Splattering to the floor,

It won't hold anymore,

Bubbling and roaring,

I start exploring,

Thoughts justy pouring out,

Shouting about the turnout,

I doubt it will be any good,

I'm always misunderstood,

Nothing turns out as good,

Like I think it should,

Who would've guessed,

My best wasn't good enough,

I couldn't find the right stuff,

It was a rough ride for sure,

My concoction wasn't pure,

The recipe for my cure,

Was tainted by fury,

Worry kept me from working,

I was always in a hurry,

I'm jerking me back and forth,

Forcing the kettle to crack,

There's no turning back now,

Turmoil is part of the track.

Taking my power back,

I stack up Experience.
