Deep within me,
I am rife with unforfilled emotions,
Thick honey,
And ambrosia,
To the hollow pit in my stomach.
I like to sit on unsaid thoughts;
Waiting for them to rise,
Up to the surface,
Bursting forth,
Like dense rain on a hot summers day.
And slowly surrender to the silent sound,
Of my own injustice.

It is not that I don't see,
The tempting joy of voicing my feelings,
Relishing the shock,
The distaste,
That I would paint across ones face.
But deep down,
Where my belly begins to churn the grim,
I know that if I am empty,
I will only be refilled;
Becoming clearer to the world,
Than that of the glass,
My taunts are cut from.
