Twist and Shout

It's nearly 2 am and nasty emotions come bubbling up

Scream and Writhe

Clutch your arms

Dig your fingers

Into the tender flesh

and tear

Stare into the dark

take a sharp breath

Let it all out

Sharp bitter tears

salty and warm

Close your eyes

Hide in the safety

of your own two arms

let the world drift by

quietly

It’s going to be okay

you just have to

take a deep breath

and let it all out

in those sharp bitter tears

salty and warm
