Melissa Enslin Poet I do not know?

Maintaining My Insanity

MY HEART FEELS LIKE A VULCANO,
THAT WANTS TO ERUPT.
GUSHING OUT BOILING BLACK TAR

IT WANTS TO SET MY EMOTIONS FREE,
‘CAUSE IT’S BEEN BOTTLED UP FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS

I KEEP MY HEART FROM ERUPTING, BECAUSE I DON’T LIKE THE CONSEQUENCES THAT IT CARRIES

IT MAKES ME FEEL WEAK, BUT YET AGAIN I GAIN CONTROLE
AND MY HEATR FEELS LIGHTER

ONCE IT ERUPTS THERE’S NO WAY STOPPING IT,
FOR MY HEART NEEDS TO EXPRESS ITS FEELINGS TO,
EVEN THOUGH IT MIGHT NOT AGREE WITH MY EXPECTATION

I ON THE OTHER HAND MUST GAIN CINTROLE AND TRY TO MAIN MY INSANITY, BEFORE IT TAKES 
CONTROLE OF ME

Nigel Fox May 6, 2011 at 1:45 PM I really enjoy your writing on this ! But black tar does not come from volcanoes just lighter rocks such as pumice which will float on water, you should and I hope and will get a rise on top of and maintain your insanity.
