Madness, fury, rage and hate,
Words sitting waiting for atomic bait!
You're bad, you suck, you're completely no good,
A head full of must do's, gunnas and shoulds!
The words turn to hurt and tormenting pain,
I have no doubt I'm going insane!
There seems no escape, the fear is real,
A deep burning agony too big to heal!
I panic, can't breathe, death will come soon,
I plunge deep in my mind and to all I'm immune.
"Snap" my eyes stare but I cannot see,
I look down on my body, this can't be me!
Motionless, inert, unable to move,
Transfixed, disconnected, unable to soothe.
The audible thud of a pounding heart,
I re-gather, unfold and thaw with a start.
The hatred is back the tsunami floods in,
A brief respite, I'm again shrouded in skin.
In a matter of seconds foreboding returns,
What now can I find to numb the pain that still burns?
