Emotions

An adrenaline rush
from your stomach
to your head – soaring

Pent-up tension
needing to evaporate
but instead
it just keeps rising, pushing
boiling, steaming
needing to
get out.

Is it love? Affection?
Or more,
a kind of anger,
frustration?

They say you should breathe
“count to ten”
or whatever.
Does it really work
if you’re
suffering?
