dry heaving

by Michele Schottelkorb

vomit cannot justifiably describe

what i wish to do at this precise moment

the twisted innards of our dysfunctional little dwelling

sickens me to the point of dry heaving

 

grotesque?

some may agree with this sentiment

 

howeverÂ…

sit in my room

for just one day

and tell me it does not make you nauseousÂ…

Author's Note: this is probably more like a journal entry... blah...

Ouch! Sounds like you and your family are going through some real rocky times. Hang in there, I'm sure it'll pass.

Too vivid... too painful.... too many memories!

Very rough and raw, subject wise, but put together nicely in a verse form. Journal entry, maybe, but it works as a verse just fine. And yes, something we can identify with, being stuck in a bad situation like that. Here's to escape.
