Tug of war

I'll rather not say, but I can't hold it all in, it seems to be building up a storm within me, quietly but in geometric progression it continues to brew.
Letting it out and letting it go seem not be viable options, confusion sets in and all attempts to ease the tension prove futile. The struggle gets harder, between myself and this worrisome entity which seems to be stronger and smarter than me.
At my Witt end I bow to the failure of my strength, waiting to be consumed,...still waiting...

They ran towards the tarred road adjacent to their building stopping a few metres away from the road, at the designated structure which was a shed made of aluminium roofing sheets and four wooden poles. This endeavour has been a daily ritual for these set of children, it had become more than what it was set out to be, right now, with the amount of attention, dedication and tenacity poured into it, it was much more than a game. Occasionally, some adults would entertain themselves by joining the group and taking the acting role of both spectators and judges, but today there were no spectators and or judges. They lined themselves side by side as each child prepared to verbally take possession of passing cars that he or she d
