Redux
who are you?
who are you really?
what you show, beauty
what you feel, ugly
where do you see this going?
where do you think?
when you laugh, it’s only all the right things
when you cry, in private
why do you hurt me?
why do you always hurt me?
how you act, pretentious
how i feel, awful

Susi, this piece captures a lot of emotion and tension. I love how it builds with each question.

Yes, you’ve identified it, David. With emotions come tension, and the pattern is one of escalation. Thank you so much for your comment. :)
