Poem: Bubbles of Frustration
By SHELIA BLAND Bubbles of Frustration Rise up to engulf me As I struggle to hang on To my optimism. Frustration bubbles Cloud my vision As I try to maintain My “Seeing everything As for the first time” view. Grasping at my idealism As to some coveted treasure I rescue from burial – I lash out at the bubbles Popping them Sending up little squeals Of delight with each pop. Goodbye frustration One bubble at a time Steady but sure – Knowing that even those bubbles That escape me Will suffer the certain Eventual Pop! Shelia Bland lives in Midtown Phillips. She has been writing most of her life to help herself understand the experiences and people in her shared world.
