Like water held back
By reservoirs.
Like a reckless tsunami
Leaving no survivors.
Like ferocious winds
Engulfing small cities.
Like a broken mind
Trying to be less gritty.
Like a torn out page,
With a lot to say.
Like immense outrage,
Finding its way.
Like oceans with worlds
Hidden beneath.
Like a universe - vast
But also discreet.
Like pen to paper,
No holding back.
Like a mind unleashing
An open attack.
Words that are struggling,
Constantly fighting -
To see light of day,
Such is her writing.

Like water held back
By reservoirs.
Like a reckless tsunami
Leaving no survivors.
Like ferocious winds
Engulfing small cities.
Like a broken mind
Trying to be less gritty.
Like a torn out page,
With a lot to say.
Like immense outrage,
Finding its way.
Like oceans with worlds
Hidden beneath.
Like a universe - vast
But also discreet.
Like pen to paper,
No holding back.
Like a mind unleashing
An open attack.
Words that are struggling,
Constantly fighting -
To see light of day,
Such is her writing.
