my ears no longer allow
the words traveling in the air
to enter.
i don't want to hear this news.
disappointment has consumed
every inch of my body.
i feel as if the clock rewound
and i am now a child
upset because i cannot get
what i want at this moment.
a tantrum brewing inside me.
each breath i contain myself
holding in my rage, anger, sadness.
my mind races for solutions.
