Madness whirling

Madness whirling

Spinning

In a wild psychotic

Tornado

Stability thrown back

And forth

Screaming like the winds cry and

Swelling as the waves

Torn between

Ridiculous and Necessary

Rivers pouring from

Behind lids and lashes

Leaking through the

Fleshy dam

On to raw cheeks

Trying desperately to

Calm

Breathe deep as

Sobs wrack an unwilling form

Pain swells inside

Cranial container

Pressure building against

Walls of bone

While forbidden sounds escape

Tight, clenched,

Constricted throat

Extremities tremble with

Overwhelming

All-consuming

Suffocating emotions

Losing

Failing in the battle against

The Timely Curse

And untimely strain

Left for dead on the

Battlefield
