Potential
She had so much of it,
potential,
a word of potency
power
capacity
quality.
She had too much of it
potential,
an energy
of mass destruction to
her own psyche.
She felt the weight of it,
potential,
expectation
acceleration towards
that which she could never
amount to.
She wanted to fulfill it,
potential,
the dangling carrot
it kept her going
but always left her
wanting more.
A dangerous word,
potential.
