The Purging of angst.
The Purging of Angst
Entertaining my emotions
I open the door to my soul
Wincing as the hinges creak
Tonight is to be one of those nights
the kind that renders it
impossible to find peace...
Unless, unless I do what is
being demanded of me
Tonight I must purge the angst,
feeling the nausea start to come
over me at the prospect of
knowing what I must do,
I sit forward with pencil in hand and
heart on the floor
The tortured scribe with a past is my character now, so
sit back all ye readers
For my play is about to unfold
keep your playbill ticket stub
for a keepsake, for this is
a rare showing this play:
First scene: The purging of Angst
Darcy Quinlan
