[ Frustration Sets Out All Over The Land ]
[ Whenever This Happens ]
[ Things Seem To Get Out Of Hand ]

[ When The Frustration Rises To The Top ]
[ Everything That Is Going Right ]
[ Comes To An Abrupt Stop ]

[ It Oozes Out Of The Sides, Front & Back ]
[ That Always Means That My Self-Esteem ]
[ Becomes Aware Of An Attack ]

[ A Punch To The Gut Is What Always Happens First ]
[ Then My Body Is Overcome With Thirst ]

[ The Thirst That Only Validation Will Quench ]
[ Something, Anything To Get My Fists To Unclench ]

[ Fists So Tight ]
[ Making My Knuckles Turn White ]

[ How Does Frustration Take Over My Brain? ]
[ It Gets My Thoughts Going So Fast ]
[ They Have The Momentum Of An Oncoming Train ]

[ Then The Dark Clouds Roll In ]
[ Turning The Sky Black ]
[ Right Before The Storm Begins ]

[ The Rain Comes Down Like A Shower ]
[ Completely Dampening All Of My Powers ]

[ Making Me Lose Control Of Each & Every Thought ]
[ Making Me Have Questions ]
[ About Every So-Called Friend That I’ve Got ]

[ Is There Even A Single Person That I Could Always Call? ]
[ Who Could Be That One Person Who Be There ]
[ Anytime I Was Backed Up Against The Wall? ]

[ That One Person Would Be My Best Friend That Lives
     In The City ]
[ Of Albany ]

[ She Is The One Person Who Has Never Done Me Wrong ]
[ Over These Last Couple Of Years ]
[ She Has Taught Me How To Be Strong ]

[ She Taught Me How I Can ]
[ Stand Tall In Front Of My Spouse ]
[ She Taught Me How To Be The Man ]
[ Of This House ]

[ & She Calls Me Out ]
[ Whenever I Have Doubt ]

[ Just Thinking Of Her Puts My Frustrationd To Bed ]
[ That Are Inside Of My Head ]

[ Thank You Maria For Teaching Me To Fight ]
[ For Myself & Equality ]
[ When I Don’t Think That Something Isn’t Right ]
