fractured,
splintered
pieces
scattered
floor
cluttered
in the debris
of me
jagged edges
sharp, rough
cutting,
tearing
everything
that I touch
raw expanse
nerves
exposed
bleeding from
every pore
electric
shock
kinetic shift
volatility
making the room spin
tear drips
eyes bleed
vision
distorting perception
snap, crack
ears erupt
falling into
gravity’s embrace
gasp inward
swallow whole
consume
before you are consumed
spew forth
stringed
words
expel
unnecessary train of thought
stare hard
look deep
scrutinize that
which is in your sight
scream loud
pierce
silence
exaggerate
emotion into words
bleed raw
cut exposed
lay bare the
shadows in your soul
wait silent
become
restraint
reaction reverses forward motion
Give it time. Breathe in and out. Look again. Brilliance and beauty, capability and talent shine through the debris. Look! You will see.
