Tension


As the flow of tension

Moves through my body

The tension turns into violence,

consuming me whole,

As if i had nothing left in me to fight, 

as it consumes me, 

Rage flows through my veins,

As if i struggle to control who I am, 

Like I am a revengeful warrior,

Or I am a compassionate leader, 

As if the future is undecided.
