Do you ever have that feeling that the clock beating inside you is permanently telling you that you're late for something? Well, that's me. Right now.
My skin is alive to every sensation but heightened to a ridiculous degree. Sounds, especially are abhorrent; loud sounds unbearable. If there was a door that opened into my body you wouldn't find pulsing red organs, oh no. There would be a sheen of metal and the black ooze of the oil needed to drive cogs, which would be grinding away relentlessly like some Victorian treadmill.
If my mind were personified it would resemble some snarling beast backed into a corner, froth hanging in ribbons from its yellow fangs, one front paw poised in front of it's body as defence or leaverage for it's next pounce. The one thing that can barely be seen in the eyes of the creature there, muscles taught like spun steel, is not the rage but the fear.
Time up.
Inspiration: the anger at obliging myself to write every day. I'm stressed and angry. I don't want to write this but I want to keep my promise to myself.

I would really welcome constructive comments or perhaps even some inspiration. To be honest , I would settle for some encouragement.
