It’s overwhelming. The urge to scream, and scream until my lips turn blue. And my throat grows red, and my hair stands straight up as though I were hit by lightning. The will power used to contain my never ending exasperation, along with frustration, is enough to shut down all of the nuclear power plants in France; although a meltdown might be more lethal. But maybe being lethal is what I crave; years of smiling and moving aside built up into an explosive pile of nicety and rage. Light the wick, and I promise I won’t fail to explode; though it always seems I’m more adept at imploding.
