more _sonnets H_elp

 Her biggest fear is glass, broken or not,
So she puts a lightbulb in her mouth
Knowing in her mind that it won't fit
and would shatter when she takes it out.

Despite knowing this fact in her mind
She wedges the bulb behind her teeth,
Her mouth starts to ache, her pulse starts to climb,
Unhinged, her jaw accepts defeat.

She clenches her teeth down on the bulb
And immediately tastes the shatter,
Metallic, sweet, blending in with her blood,
A gash on her tongue, red splatter.

Glass behaves just as it should, under pressure, it will burst.
She knew this, and trusted the truth, but she had to try it first.
