FOOOOSHH. its about how i was feeling overwhelmed as my family was yelling at me one day..

The cooker steams
thrice
hot, fiery air blowing out
Screeching loudly
making my ears tremble
shaken
water runs down my eyes
as vapor blasts out the pot.

The knife lays beside me on the
cutting board
playing Innocent and
always watching.
careful, precise,
slides between my fingers.
yet when i
turn quickly to grab the towel
you subtly change angle
Stabbing and
observing the blood
stream
from my hands.

Moving towards the sink to wash the
red stains off
tap was left open
FOOOOOSH
where is that coming from
the water or the cookerr?
liquid ruby still draped across my skin
trickles to hug the floor
imprinting in an angry crimson.
FOOOOOOSH
i heeded the water’s warnings this time
Spraying my hands with sharp iced
drenched
a throbbing pain pounding through
It was
everywhere
All at once.

FOOOOOSHH
