Pressure

Location

On the inside,

I'm writhing.

 

Dueling against myself,

Fighting,

For possession of the blade.

 

My body is too full,

bursting,

with emotion.

With tears.

with Pain.

 

It needs to escape.

I need a way out.

This tension is...Murder.

 

Blood,

pooling under the surface.

Boiling under Pressure.

Threatening release.

 

Let me help it...

I need it out.

 

The iron scent,

I crave it.

 

Let me bleed.

Let me bleed until I'm empty.

Very intense, I like the imagery. Keep writing to get those toxic feelings out. You need to be heard!
