Juli- Michelle Poet Lyric

He's Back

My insides are tight, they’re slimy and black
He’s back. 
The anaconda. 
He squeezes my insides and I can’t breathe, 
He won’t leave.
I can’t sleep, or I’ll dream of his body
While he roams my gut, up to my lungs, 
Grabbing my ribs and swinging from the rungs
And then squeezes around my throat
Takes time to gloat
Before he hisses words into my head… 
Words that can render me dead. 
He lingers, he slithers, he kills..
He’s back;
And no one’s there to hear my shrills.

Ravi Sathasivam November 18, 2016 at 1:57 AM Tremendous and dark poetry. You can kill your fears while focus on other things. Good write.

Chris Green November 17, 2016 at 5:47 PM Wow, this poem screams from the page. It feels desperate and desolate at the same time. These fears that come when we least expect them can be very destructive, just keep writing and focus on the good things. Wonderfully written, this was amazing
