Twice My Madness

Twice the fury
Twice the complex problems
Twice the horror
Twice the instability
Twice the exhaustion
Twice the failure
Twice the keeping silent
Twice the fumes
inside of me
Twice the hunger
Twice the anger
Twice the loud
Twice the vigor
Twice the stale beats
Of sweat
across my forehead
Twice the aches
Twice caught
No, thrice caught
Thinking that person;
A stranger
Wanted to talk
To me
My mistake
Twice wasting time
Twice thinking
frazzled thoughts
Pushing to crack
to break, to chink
Twice to scratch
Twice to pull
Twice to squeeze
Twice to fray
Twice to fetter
Twice to slam
Twice to let down
Twice to smother
Twice to let down
Twice to hover
Twice to suffocate
Twice to hearken
Twice to poke
Twice to punch
Twice to rip
clearly away
Twice to slug, slop, and sling
Into my reality
