When All Hell Broke Loose

There are days
When all hell breaks loose
When the devil seems in control
When we use words we shouldn't use
Ego bruised, Intellect abused
When you and I fight
We both always lose
It is in those days that I am of no utter use

My body collapses
I pause
Relieved to be okay now
Relieved to not be deceived by my own cognition
But then my condition relapses

There are days when all hell breaks loose
When we get bad news
And it's a battle we didn't choose
And I am bruised,bored, behaviorally challenged and
Oh so confused

There are days when all hell breaks loose
When people are cunning, cruel
Albeit it is not my fault
Because I was nice to you
I did you no harm
Yet you still continue to
Do what you

There are days when all hell breaks loose
When people who love you are the ones who tolerate you
But what you do has their love
Neglected, unrequited, abused by you
Yet you couldn't care less
About the effort they put into you
Even love has a price

There are days when all hell breaks loose
When you who once were a rainbow, a light
Now you're grey, a fuse
People continue to party
The way that they do
And all you want to do
Is go to your room
Dig your head in a pillow
Tears profuse

There are days when all hell breaks loose
When people are smarter, prettier and more self-assured too
And I don't know what the hell I'm going to do
And you shove the trophy in my face
"You lose," you say
Yet I have nothing to display,
Nothing to prove
That I'm as worthy, as competent as you

But I'm a warrior
I have some pretty functional neurons too
And though this day has been hellish tomorrow might just be
Heavenly too
Do not be so flamboyant,
Because even if I'm a little slower than you
I can run fast if I choose to
I'm talking to you Life

I'll kick butt out of you
