Cheesed

Anger eludes me
as numbness prevails
enough to keep me from screaming
but not enough
no
not enough
to quell the pain
never enough
to quell the pain

My stomach churns
grating
like a block of parmesan
slowly scraping
scraping away
any sense of peace
or normalcy
and leaving it
to rot
and mold
on the tops
of my shoes.
