Coiled
By: Stephanie J. Bardy

Pressure builds
Like a tiger coiled in my chest.
I can feel the claws
Trying to burst out.
Breath, step, breath, step.
Walk away they say.
Walk away.
Easy, if I didn't want to scream.
Easy if I didn't want to smash the face
of the ignorant gaping hole screaming at me.
The tiger paces within me.
I will not let it out.
Breath, step, breath, step.
I will not let it out.
