Emergency

They say I am ravenous. 

I say that it is the voices that are starving. 

So passionate, that it hurts. 

Going from depression-

To desperation. 

Desperation that threatens to burst forth. 

But never does. 

Instead, it is like my mind is being unthreaded by hot needles. 

But as much as it hurts-

I still must wait. 

It is my fault all over again-

Imploding over and over again.
