Internal Atomic Bomb

What it is like to suffer

My mind erupts, like shattered glass breaking apart
spitting slivers of echoing pain that puncture my heart.
Words that shatter me,
images that implode addled shrapnel into my soul.
White knuckled fists, as the heat bares into my skin.
The blast accelerates, burning my insides, until I can no longer breathe.

All I can do is scream.

Deafening anguish escapes my lips, only to fuel the fire.
I scream...as if someone might answer me.
I scream...hoping this is a nightmare, and I will awake.
I scream until my voice is as raw as my core.
With nothing left, I fold into myself.
Fetal and distraught.

I cry myself to sleep,
only to explode again
when I wake.

Wow.. it sounds like it is written from experience. A really good read.

I really like the anecdotal feel of the ending here. I can feel the rage of this piece build as I read. Good stuff!
