The Burst of the Inner Bubble
Inside there’s a bomb
I can’t seem to
diffuse, I try to
put a name on it
but it seems there
is no use.
Is it stress, turmoil
or my internal abused, contemplating this I
seem to be confused.
Knowing I’m smart
yet I feel like
the common fool.
One that can’t seem
to grasp a simple
concept, keeping
it in the dark
cause to be viewed
like this by others
has given me a
complex.
Visions of me hanging
by my neck in a
slow suffocating
death, acknowledging
that this inner
bomb has its time
set.
Hoping for accomplishments before people stand
over me and pay
there respect, in
life I never received
nothing except this
inner demon I choose
to create and accept
May the Lord at
least at that point
bless me with
eternal rest…
