Poems That Touch

Want

I want to cry, scream, tear something, lash out at someone
Anything to kill this frustration
But as usual I do nothing
I bottle up, tighten the screw
And toss it in the deepest part of my soul
It's pure torture I know
But I'll endure it
Accept it as my punishment
My punishment for being this person
And even though it is not enough penance
I'll take it
