On the Afrobloggers WhatsApp group, Lutgard Musiime Akiiki gave a one-liner - "I am burning in my own skin" - and asked poets to do their thing, so I gave it a shot ...
I am burning in my own skin
I can’t possibly hold this in -
Much longer!
It gets stronger -
With each passing moment.
It threatens to rip me apart
But I don’t know how to start
Letting the world know.
How do I show
What could possibly be?
Soon it will be
Greater than me
And then, the world will burn!
