Burst
By Sarah Bross

My wings are clipped
I gasp I choke
I pound I kick the window
Get me out NOW!
I slap I push the ceiling
I'm going to explode!
I shake I rattle the seat in front
Pull over, dammit, PULL OVER!
It boils in my throat
It's burning up my lungs
My mind screams and wails
No, no, NO!
I spring from my yellow prison
The hill carries me down to the bottom
I try to hold it inside with my hands
But my lungs explode
I burst
My wings are clipped
I gasp I choke
"FFFUUUUUUUUUCK!!!"
