Mental
In my corner I sit
curl up
Tears run
stream
slide
Down my face
A hornet’s nest fights crazy in my head
I fight to catch my breath
Cannot stop hyperventilating
As the apathetic fluorescents gaze
Down upon my fetal form
With the blankness of catatonia.
I view the world through shimmering
blurry
glassy
Eyes
Watch the nauseating
cadaverous
crawling
Green painted walls
Breathe like a living organism
Creature
Beast
I shrink
Melt
Disappear
Farther into the corner
Draw my knees tighter
Around my shaking
Sobbing
Wretched
Form and rock
Back and forth
Back and forth
Back and forth.
I eye the window
The metal hole
Barred with icy slats
Can only see shafts
Shards
Pieces
Of greasy Green Bay
Want to run up to it
And throw a chair through
The chilly glass
Shatter
smash
destroy
It
Reduce it to a million
Piercing diamonds
Run through it
Run away
But I do not do it.
