Tension

Tension
In the damp existence of my thoughts
Bleeds through my sights that sear my dreams
And is the decaying corps chained to my ankle 
That gasps for constant attention in gusts of norm
Beats seizures into my motionless mortality.

Tension
Is my continuous companion 
Sinister and wicked, he eats at me
Causing the smoke to rise above my face
And conflict every moment,
I carry with me his festering existence .

Gabby, you are rather lost in the state of exhibiting fierceness... not in a bad way... but ones tenisions is better than being a "limp noodle", great poem to model all the tightness of ones tension mind... enjoyed,..p.d.
