Astonished…..
Astounded…..
Apprehensive…..
Truth to tell, I'm horrified.
Is this what I've been so terrified to face,
This hatred, venom, poison
Spewing out at this entity called self
Like a geyser unleashed?
Yes, like a geyser-
Burning and fouling
Everything in its path…..
Yet, odd that its path
Is so specific…..
Almost like a goal:
Woman. Self.
*This* woman-self.
Rage, rage, rage-
And pain.
It feels like a cataclysm inside,
And I'm afraid.
