Energy to Unleash

I want to punch something,
I want to throw something,
to yell so loud at the heavens
that they yell back at me in
annoyance.

I feel compressed today,
a spring locked down
tight in a vise.

This kinetic energy is stored
and it wants release.

Can you feel it overhead?
The wires humming, electrical
current held back like a
river at a dam.

I’m pacing in my cage,
I don’t want the slop you throw
through the door,
I want to rip you to shreds and
gorge on your entrails instead.

Pressure, Pressure, Pressure
The millibars are mounting
Like a mountain upon my head.
Fuck you pressure….I can push back
I will show you I have just as much
energy as you do.

So just give up.
