"Bottle"
By Author Maravilla
I wish I wasn't
A bottle;
Full of liquid and vivid
Emotions that can take any different
Forms or shapes; Emotions that I always try
To hide within these glassy or plastic cylindrical spaces that make up my soul;
Emotions that no others can take in and drink, that only I can suffice on my own.
I wish I wasn't
A bottle;
Prone to explosion once the pressure eats me up; Prone to cracks and scratches once I am
Dropped on the hard floor; Prone to breaking
Once I lose my own grip to myself;
Prone to becoming unrotten yet useless throughout the years; Prone to becoming a Waste I never really wanted.
I wish I wasn't
A bottle;
So I can freely open my cap to set these Emotions free; So I can freely express my Sentiments for my own cause; So I can never have these 'what ifs' lingering around me,
Taking me down on memory lane and slowly
Making me feel guilty for all the words
I left unsaid:
Empty inside
Shiny outside;
Erupting liquid pressurized inside
Yet feeling stuffed and cozy outside;
That's what I always feel.
Like a bottle, I want to explode; Pour my
Heart out and lash my anger; Shout every annoyance out, and let the flowing pressurized liquid out to make me feel better.
But I cannot.
Because my drinker cannot accept me.
Thus, what I can only say is,
"I wish I wasn't a bottle..."
Again and again.
