There is horror in her gut<\/p>\n
Scraping and clawing<\/p>\n
Traveling through the rivers of her blood<\/p>\n
Begging for release<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
There is a rage in her hands<\/p>\n
That spills into silent moments<\/p>\n
Buried deep<\/p>\n
Deep<\/p>\n
Deep<\/p>\n
Searching for release<\/p>\n
Anguish twists her heart<\/p>\n
Molding it like clay<\/p>\n
Flimsy and wet<\/p>\n
Unstable<\/p>\n
Easily falling apart<\/p>\n
Desperate for release<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Tensions knot her muscles<\/p>\n
Like rope<\/p>\n
Leaving lasting indentions in their memory<\/p>\n
Tight and controlled<\/p>\n
She moves through the valley<\/p>\n
Pleading for release<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen,\u201d she cries, \u201cwill this dread release me?\u201d<\/p>\n
Tears pooling on the collar of her t-shirt<\/p>\n
Her body trembles with no end in sight<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen will this horror release me?\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Shadows flicker in the corner of her eyes<\/p>\n
Urging her on<\/p>\n
Pushing for release\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n For the anger galvanized<\/p>\n Into a weapon of iron<\/p>\n To pierce through the light<\/p>\n Releasing itself\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Free<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" There is horror in her gut Scraping and clawing Traveling through the rivers of her blood Begging for release There is a rage in her hands That spills into silent moments Buried deep Deep Deep Searching for release Anguish twists her heart Molding it…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1373,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[5762,5765,5785],"class_list":["post-127482","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-half-marathon-poem","tag-2023hour1","tag-2023poetrymarathon","tag-9am"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/thepoetrymarathon.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/127482","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/thepoetrymarathon.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/thepoetrymarathon.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thepoetrymarathon.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1373"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thepoetrymarathon.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=127482"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/thepoetrymarathon.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/127482\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":127522,"href":"https:\/\/thepoetrymarathon.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/127482\/revisions\/127522"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/thepoetrymarathon.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=127482"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thepoetrymarathon.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=127482"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thepoetrymarathon.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=127482"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
