Twist Open My Bottled Emotions

Emotions spray in the air

wounded fragments cascading

from holes in heart sieve.

My bottle bleeds in drops

leaking out my skin, but

atomized thoughts fail to soar.

Sanguine pain pours deeply

from my blotched face.

brewery of festered thoughts.

Bottled up storm ferments

as I try to spew the tears out,

tied up in tortuous knots

from being tangled too long.

Stomach growls and festers

trying to vomit infestation,

trapped in my cage of rage,

boiling secrets unsaid.

I slap a smile on my face

and glue it to the walls,

hiding my numb body

behind my grinning facade.

Please twist open

burning bottle of agony

and read my truths

before they tunnel

deeply encased

inside my soul.
