Cornered
Angry people
Hovering above me
Constantly
The fear of admonition
Of disappointment
The gaze of ire
Unfulfilled expectation
Awaiting them all
And the noise
The helicopter of anger
Turning round and round
The images of disillusioned
eyes
Of controlled rage
Which in my mind keep emerging
A never-ending wave of sour
faces
Surfing up and down
With no way out
No calm
Not even in the deepest corner of my sleep
