The Clench

Rage rumbles in the cavity Of my chest I crave anything but solution I am too burnt for tears They tell me I can choose the way I feel They tell me like they know But they can't feel The clench At 4 AM The wide-eyed bitter Of a low goodbye And a never-ending inhale August 31, 2017

Life and love can suffocate the strong and weak alike Laura, I experience these edges often too, amazingly, it is life and love that motivates us to endure with joy and grace Poetess...J.A.B.
