Emotional Blockage

She sits here, to steep a while
In her numb, perfidious space
A space that shrinks and suffocates
break after break
Burnt again to tumble into indifference
Indifference that disguises anger
Emotion boils somewhere inside
She wrenches at it, pleads
It is heavy, embedded
Simmering slick as the pressure builds
It's been a long time
Claustrophic temper was here once
And it's here now
Alien head ascending
Pushing, flowing
Yet solid and stubborn
Left or right?
She hates being stuck
and broken.
