Stir

If words could only truly articulate what I'm feeling right now.

There's a sense of nausea forming in the pit of my stomach and rising up into the back of my throat.  I am overcome with utter disgust at myself and the insecurities of every form of myself are bubbling up to the surface in violent waves.  I don't like this.

Who gave my heart permission to hurt like this?  To convulse and shake and stop and break.

Something is possessing me, stealing all control of me, because I have lost all function to remain cool, poised, and calm.  I really don't like this.

I'm breathing in the fumes that are making me crazy.  I'm manic.  I'm obsessed.  I'm frightened.  I'm reckless.

There's a layer of skin, just buzzing.  I feel like I'm simultaneously outside of it and fighting inside of myself.... I don't recognize me and yet I feel more like myself than ever.  Like a superhero.  Or super villain.  I want it and loathe it.  I don't know what to do with its power.  And I can't just take it back.
