I'm crabby
more sour than the sourest apple from the shady side of a crab apple tree Dissatisfied Irritable Angry more ready to snap than dry kindling in a red hot fire more hostile than a hornet trapped indoors against a window the door is open but the hornet buzzes insanely unable to see the easy way out the only way out my fuse is short my lid doesn't stay on easily I decide to be alone though I'm longing for passion and belonging for romance and meaning instead of feeling trapped in an endless stream of days to nowhere but I'm not trapped I'm snappy I've snapped loose my snaps are undone I'm unattached finding it easy to feel sad easy to feel let down lonely when I'm alone tired out when I'm at home and snappy in company that doesn't offer a home for me like a crabby kid aged three I want what I want Gimmee and underneath longing such an ache for belonging sadness for the waste I'm feeling, living longing give me loving let me give you loving such aching and then snapping from aching to anger like the hornet which doesn't escape to freedom Where's my way out from the hunger like the growling in the gut of a bear waking from hibernation like the scraping, pawing at ice and snow of a deer knowing there's grass just below starvation hunger give me loving let me give you loving hold me securely and then surely my hunger will fade
