Volcanic
Heartburn; sweaty palms and head;
veins popping up from great tension; total
inside; it is piling and piling up.
Lava, a mixture of anger and disgust, sits
there and waits, till it comes to a boil. All this
pain stirs and stir like a pot of sauce that
continues to boil, and then starts to spit at you.
From the bottom it is rising; I'm choking. It is
suffocating my world; whatever is left. It
grows and grows until it reaches the top of my Soul's
height and explodes like a suicidal bomber that only
explodes him and not others.
This is my Soul...An enormous and dangerous
volcano that destroys my being, time and time agin.
Life is dormant sometimes, when the blood red boiling
lava cools down and turns black. At times, when the
volcano awakes, I don't know how to cool it down;
I guess when someone throws in some cool refreshing
waters then I don't suffocate.
