The Fight

by Agnes Hall

I don't know why I feel this way.
Closed off and bitter.
The stinging saturation of sarcasm
and the venomous bite of a word
woven into the electric current
of my veins,
pulsating
a whip waiting to crack
but instead contained.
it gathers into two tightly clenched fists
carefully, precisley, slowing, shoved
into a cardboard box
and sealed
tightly
to be cemented like the others
into the wall of the unsaid.

"woven into the electric current
of my veins,
pulsating
a whip waiting to crack
but instead contained." these lines are just too cool. great write!
