One Last Round
I feel it building up, bubbling up, looking for my weakness
From the pit of my stomach into my chest
Desperate to break free, let loose, escape my hold
Slip from my lips, released from my fists
Power and vengeance and fury and chaos
The swelling and longing, finally burst out
At the tiniest pin prick, the lightest touch
Not what I expected or even feared
Too much to remember, or consciously aware
The end, the conclusion, the final act
Is sorrow, confusions, frustrated targetless anger at self
The brilliant foundation for just another, one last round.
