Filled Up

I'm filled up,

Completed; loaded to the brim!

Something's bursting forth,

And it wants out.

 

I'm chalk full of it,

It's almost controlling me!

I must keep dominance;

It's way to early.

 

I want to say SOMETHING!; ANYTHING!

But I mustn't; I must be ever-vigilant,

Waiting until just the right moment,

To make my move.

 

Waiting never accomplishes anything,

I have to take swing if I truley want this,

But alas, my nerve catches me,

Right at the peak of my curve.

 

Stopping me in my tracks,

Nearly spilling it everywhere,

And possibly ruining everything,

Collapsed in a lifeless heap.

 

I gave up,

But only for a little while,

While I regained my strength,

And remembered just how close I'm not.

 

Forcing me to completion,

I'm refilled,

Recharging this explosion,

Would saying something really be that bad?

To speak or not to speak... to act or not. grrr. Decisions, decisions... sounds like you're going with your gut while still questioning it. It is a potent write, like Emily said. I think we can all relate to this in some way. I hope you don't explode!! It sounds as if you might! Good luck, good write!

[Emily Elizabeth]

A very strong, powerful, ambiguous poem with a poignant use of imagery. You touch on some wonderfully potent subjects here. A fantastic piece of work! :D

Wonderful poem! I loved the theme and the emotional struggle of courage vs action.

I can't help but feeling there should be a follow up piece to this!

Great Write!
