Inside Out
Write about a time you had to present yourself one way on the outside, but felt completely different on the inside.
Intususseption
The day it came to this
My insides twisted
Heartless torsion of panicked walls
Kinking intestinal fortitude
Powerless in pain
Sounds within presage
The chaos in my mind and gut
That comes from hurting you
Hurts me more than you
The cliché that rings true
In unfairness shared between us
In cruel obstruction
The detente that establishes
Patency for the bile, yellow and black
To pass unhindered away from us
Reaffirms forgiving laxity
