It simmers then swells and goes out of control.
Blindly you hit out, lashing at those near you.
It crescendoes and the words tumble
before your world crumbles
and you feel like shit.
The anger turns inwards,
you detest your inner being
and the words of others reverberate
echoing, clawing.
You smash things, but still it gnaws
You cut with the shards.
This cycle, so familiar
leaves you bleeding
inside and out.
So sorry. How I identify with this and sense perhaps I was part of the match that lit the flame....
ReplyDeleteIt's such a horrible feeling. Is there any way to help?
It wasn't you I promise. It is the same old family dynamic that invariably leads to this. Definitely not you.
