I am livid and bleeding.

I am seething but you have conveniently deprived me of an outlet.  Instead I dig my nails into the sides of my face as I rock back and forth in poorly suppressed anger and frustration.

My words are impotent and useless.  I want to scream but you have sewn shut my mouth with your arrogance and lack of trust.

I want to strangle you but being that you're already lying in some sterilized bed for attempting to self terminate your own way, I suppose the gesture is moot.

No.  

I changed my mind.  I want to slap you.  Slap you so hard you taste the life in your mouth.  Hot, coppery and shocking.
Not that it matters.  I am lying here.  Alone.  With blood beneath my nails and my boiling anger threatening to drag me down into a deadly churning whirlpool of scalding hatred.  

Tomorrow.
Tomorrow I should be better and hopefully more calm when I walk into your room.  But tonight I am
Ineffective.
Futile.
Useless.
Furious.
Bleeding.
Alive.
yeah.
a friend of mine attempted to overdose that morning.
I was not pleased.

I love the descriptions of raw emotion in this piece. It's very powerful and re-readable. As a reader I really do feel your anger, so to speak. I hope everything gets better for you.

I wouldn't worry about the flow. It flows very well though I would say I'd call this a very short bit of free form prose rather than poetry. :shrug: But that's just my personal opinion. Pay it no mind. Well done on such a good piece!
