Challenge of the Week CXII
Emotional Reaction. Perhaps it's an outburst of anger. Perhaps a fearful retreat. Perhaps still a poem, written of love. Choose an emotion (or two), and write about the reaction it causes. Fiction or non-fiction, poetry or Prose.

The silent treatment
The bitter taste it leaves
Sprints across the tongue
Crawls down the spine
Grips and chokes the lungs;
Sets you free from air
Reminds you of your birth
When you were clueless, lost
An easy target to hurt
A crack in somebody's plans
With little room to fit in
A doll in somebody's playhouse
Oh, through what have you been!
At last you embrace:
Sorrow kills faster than neglect
For condemnation leads to nowhere
There is no room for regret;
Being lonely gives birth to no pain
Compared to being left alone
However the horror lies in the soltitude
In which you have to resist the storm
