Need
by Sam M. Phillips

Cutting to core,
Not knowing how,
Coping impossible,
No skills,
No mechanism,
Freedom bared by circumstance,
Receptors blocked to substance.

Substrate,
Foundation crumbles under frustration,
Dictation to Self unnoticed,
No comfort,
No other to bear pain,
To console.

Tear hair,
Break nails,
Scratch skin,
Frightful fretting,
Needing,
Not receiving,
Something from you.
