To explode

Is it just a buzz that gets me by?
Drowning fears, cares, worries and qualms
in cups of joe?
But at night, when jittery drugs fade,
shadows hid arise in force,
choking joy and mimicking hope.
I'm crying to God to let me know
just a few more steps along my road.
The tension, strain and stress is too much.
To dwell on it long takes my song;
the dance I jive to get me by;
to lead, to read and hold the tide.

Oh...to explode! To let it flow free!
To curse caffeine and its sugary dream;
to speak in truth, no subtlety or lie;
to hold a hand, caress a cheek.
My God, my God,
please let me free.
