Feel!
don't touch

See!
close your eyes

Breathe!*
hold your breath

Talk!
don't speak

Hear!
close your ears

Love!*
Hate!
happy*
sad

Hold on!
let go

Fly!
yet fall

SCREAM!!
only on the inside, don't make a sound

cry
don't let the tears fall

Stop!
Go!
smell the roses
they are dying

STOP! YELL! SCREAM!

*shhh!
I wrote this before leaving my husband. It truly tells the tale of what I was battling internally.
