Constrictor

Slowly the venom stings

and the snake constricts my very skull

Mute hisses bombard me with deafening loudness

Of a chaotic future, an unliveable present

My fragile cranium shatters and shards pierce my brain

My heart stopped beating and ceaselessly fails

How can I thrive in this cruel world?

Will someone notice my pain?

'The constrictor that prevents my sanity from falling apart.'
