Punished at the speed of thought
As her mental sea exploded with wave after wave
Intensity so high she had to close her eyes and grit her teeth
Nerves fried, she fled into the oblivion of darkness hoping to find relief

Pain (an acrostic poem)
Punishing waves of agony crash along your nerves
And as they recede they leave riptides of aches behind
It makes it difficult to breathe, to think
Now you wonder if you can tough it out, or if this time it will break you
Tempest (an acrostic poem)
The storm was coming; she could feel it in her bones
Electrical shocks paused through her emotional system
Making her nerves sizzle, waiting for the other shoe to fall
Penelope didn’t want to be this apprehensive
Everyone has a bad day every once in a while
So she was due, and yet she knew this was different
Thunder rolled across her mental landscape. Then the downpour started

Tread (an acrostic poem)
The sensation of someone’s foot stomping down on her was all too real
Reducing her to a bundle of pulsating overstimulated nerves
Even getting out of bed on those days was met with dread
And yet she kept working on surviving day after day
Damned if she wasn’t willing to bite back

Ornament (an acrostic poem)
Oscar proudly walked down the red carpet with Sasha on his arm
Rarely had the whirl of cameras and flashes popping been so soothing to his nerves
Now if it were a normal day he would be duck and covering
Always trying to avoid unwanted attention
Many times it was inevitable and he just had to bite his tongue
Even when the paparazzi grew belligerent
Nearing the head of the line he pasted on his million-dollar smile
The fact he was Sasha’s ‘and one’ never bothered him. He liked being arm candy
