Repress (poem)

Poetry

Press it down,
Hold it in.
Get to a place of safety.

Keep it moving,
Don’t stop now.
The end is just beginning.

Future selves,
They’ll help you out.
Just keep those wheels turning.

Can’t let it out,
But it festers inside.
Organs sicken and die.

Choked screams escape,
Wounded howls cut deep.
Rivers and ravines of blood.

Pustules burst,
Acidic burns.
Trauma will wait longer.
