Spent
Spent


You are trapped inside your mind
Filled to the brim with words and emotions
Barely containing the jumble of thoughts and feelings
Threatening to break free
Spill over
Tumble out of you in waves
Which have no rhythm, no pattern, no music
Waves which crash against rocks
And break
And are lost forever
Words under your command
Now fail you
The storm raging inside your head
Begs to be released
Love, betrayal, guilt, longing, fear, forgiveness, shame, anticipation, truth, delay
All the words you could ever need
Each feeling and emotion
Each thought
Press against your skull
Wanting an out
You transform into a storehouse of alphabets which no longer make sense
Incomplete se
ntences and
Unfinished poems
Become your song
There is a desperation in you unlike other
To Write
Speak
Explain
Express
The pressure builds
Unyielding
Increasing in intensity
You will explode
You want to
To ease the pain
To relieve the pressure
Lightning strikes
It's time for the tide
Waves of words build, rise inside you
Cresting
And crash against the shore
Consuming everything in their way
Over and over again
The storm roars
Winds howl and hiss
Thunder growls and echoes
Words fall from your lips
Like unforgiving rain on parched earth
And you lie staring at the cloudless sky
Finally
Spent
