I am
a scream that won't come out
a breath
that won't go in
a storm
that won't stop raging
a void that won't be
filled
a flood
that can't be contained
I am
bursting at seams
and i am
shrinking into nothingness
i am wild
flailing limbs and i am
folding
into myself like a
foetus.
I am
lost.

think you could put a little more emotion into it?! That was a ride. Good discipline in keeping only the first line of each section in Caps. It adds to the pace.

I liked this because I could relate to it a lot!
I was diagnosed with PTSD and I have felt similar to many of the feelings you described!
Overall this was a really great read, nice imagery and powerful emotion!
Well done!
Thanks for entering and good luck!
