Internal Disaster

A Poem

By H.b. WoodsPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

I feel the anguish kicking in

as I observe him holding the scissors

But I don’t know what he’s thinking

I feel my heart pound faster

Is this going to last forever?

I can not stop the triggers within

you’d think it was a mortal sin

his hand sways past me as I flinch

I sit back and watch as I cringe

he’s sitting there with all grins

I just want to scream and shout

and that is beyond any doubt

my tears are experiencing a mass drought

when will the flowers begin to sprout

my memories are loud and overcrowded

I know there is nothing to worry about

I can’t make my thoughts chill the hell out
