Scream Why

Deflated, discontent, discouraged, and downtrodden
I lie on my back, looking up.

The light bulb flickers above me
and the floor is hard.

Welling up inside,
I feel fear, like bile in my throat.

It pushes its way
From my heart to my mouth.

As it hits the back of my teeth
I scream "WHY"
