Elastic band

Stretched to the limit
My body begs me to breathe,
and my mind screams.

I should let myself be malleable,
be open to contracting.

But I am terrified of being inside myself.

I teach myself to never 
trespass beyond the limit.

I stay in the throes of tension.
Pinging constantly.

Pain
Ping

Pain
Ping

Pain
Ping

Within this limit 
I am highly strung but I am 
intact.

I think if I saw you again I would snap in two.
