(lightning season)

(lightning season)

It’s lightning season

inside of me

I feel the static 

electricity,

the buzzing, roaring

inside my chest,

a constant state of 

unease, unrest 

and I obsess, I fixate

on grumbling thunder 

that awaits

to unleash its 

smoldering crack, 

the burning words

I’ve been holding back 

because the clouds know

the anger I’ve held

but that I’ve been 

compelled 

to keep it together, 

to keep it in,

to be sunshine

from eyes to chin

but deeper down

I feel it form

thunder, lightning

ready to storm
