potential energy

potential energy is absorbed energy

that will soon be turned into kinetic energy,

action,

movement.

I am energy.

every cut

every fuss

every welt

every beat

every slap

every belittle 

every yell

every scream

every grab

builds up my potential energy

and soon

I'll turn it into kinetic energy.

very soon

but until then, i sit

and wait

till the year i turn 18

and only then

will i release my kinetic energy

on the people who started it all
