Exploding Tension

Sometimes I feel like exploding. My head is tipped to the sky and my arms outstretch to the horizon lines. My fingertips disappear, and strings of the words I never said stream out into the atmosphere. They gather in groups and form clouds that blot out the stars and force the world to sit in silence, to live like me. I scream but instead of sound comes a bright light that skyrockets right into the middle of that ebony monster of words and night. The light blinds me and after the beam has left my body I slump to the ground. I cant see where I am but I feel a gentle raindrop fall on my cheek.Now another drops on my nose. And now on my ear. I start to hear not raindrops falling around me with their steady rhythm, but something else. Softly at first, as a child whispers, but becoming louder and more distinct with each quickening drop were words instead of rain. "Im Sorry.""Everything is Great,""I believe in you,""I love you."
