Rage? Rage. Rage! Torrent of emotions within me. Sways me back and forth. Threatens my balanced poise. Screaming? Screaming. Screaming! Im asking why. I dont want this. I. dont. want. this. I dont want to fight. Yet. i say nothing. I do nothing. and then. Numbing pain. Helplessness. I close my eyes to hide my tears. Now's not the time to fall apart i say. I check my pulses. Listen to my own breathing. Im still alive. There must be a reason. And I continue going about my day.
