The Faces of Exposure
Imagine feeling all the heat of ice
Resembling the white of your fingertips
Gusts of polar destruction nipping away from the outside going in
Imagine impelling to the state of numb from the frosty exposure
A lost mind in an unfeeling body
Raw to the touch
Imagine the fire reigniting the flame from your core
Color flushing into your skin
Sensation gradually taking hold
Imagine growing calescent
Roasting in the oven of yourself
Scalding to the melting point
Imagine straddling your thoughts
Attempting to validate any and all sensation
Uncertain of it being mental or physical
Imagine being exposed
Both physically and mentally strained
Feeling vulnerable from experiencing the faces of "exposure"
