I have a growing bile that’s been unsettled in my stomach for a very long time now.
The physical manifestation of pain and uneasiness that has been plaguing my everyday life has been absolutely outstanding in a way that’s truly indescribable.
The
puckered
acid-bubbles
sit
deep
down
in
my
belly begging to be popped in a way that’s supposed to satisfy the palate but I can’t figure out how to please these facets of my body.
There’s something I have to do, something I have to create, an itch that has to be scratched but time and even ability has chained my arms and legs to the wall. It’s moved me to stay awake in the small hours of the week.
I’ll suffer all the more for not satisfying this obsession that’s avoided me but stuck to the gray matter of my brain like a cancer.
