Basket Case

Oh battered skull, with what power do you withstand explosion from the pain I feel within? Like the grinding of one's bones as your chest is so slowly crushed. Blackness overcomes as eyes burn with liquid close to the nightmarish reality. Leaving the brain to convulse in its own hellish scenes. Icy, clawed fingers dig into the brain and it heaves within it's fluid. This organ. entombed in it's crypt since birth now wishes freedom and screams a silent scream as darkened bile scolds my innards.
