There is a feeling.

Bubbling up from inside me.

It curdles my stomach

And squeezes my heart.


There is a feeling.

Bashing my head from within.

Impairing my heart

And strangling my lungs.


There is a feeling.

Brandishing knives and

Instruments of torment.

Anguish settling within my soul.


There is a feeling.

Burning my heart.

Incarcerating my head.

All light extinguished.


There is a feeling.

Bringing foul stench of filth

Into my being.

Any good relieved of duty.


There is a feeling.

Bubbling up from inside me.

It kills my desire.

And strings my heart along for the ride.
