Animal Inside

M.E.M.

Something comes bubbling up inside me,

A gnawing feeling

at the core of my being

that will not be ignored.

 

And I don’t know what it is, not yet.

Nevertheless, it pushes to be heard,

To be felt.

 

It comes bursting

out of my mouth—

a blood-curdling scream

raking the air with its rawness. 

 

Fueled by anger and sorrow,

I feel it might never stop.

It empties out of me

Leaving me lighter than before.

    Enjoyed the read, anger and sorrow can build up inside so much that you do feel lighter when you let it out, nicely expressed and written
