Heat

the heat builds inside me 
sweat popping from my forehead
stinging my eyes 

there's no relief from the surges
taking away my sanity
my inner thermostat broken

so i sit here fanning like crazy
while others stare on
with their calm and refresh demeanor

there is no relief from the heat resurgent
making the dull pain in my head ache
