Heave
By brokenbandagedbetter
The battle that rages within is consuming all that is calm
I cannot seem to catch my breath for very long
The pitching and heaving of this emotional typhoon
Is making me sick in my gut, mind and soul
I want to break out
To somehow stay above it all
Trying not to be engulfed by all the negativity
I must stay above
I cannot go back there
Back to the angry place
The place that festers hate
When the thoughts come I push them out
But oh they come in waves
They grab hold and refuse to release
Refuse to let me sleep
The struggle to stay above is getting the best of me
I am tired
Tired
Tired

This has the feel of a wild thing in a cage too small--very effective writing, the emotion is palpable.
