Self Destruct

Burning blood,

I can feel the fire inside.

Its been raging,

sparks flying...

Fighting to get out.

If it wasn't love,

there would be a bloody pulp.

A mess I wouldn't clean up.

But go on ahead,

Fuel the fire.

Throw some more stones.

I'm the modern day,

hell raiser. Burning inside out.

I'm burning, waiting...

The sparks ignite and..
I am transformed.

I am a woman...

The Strength of nature in my hands.

I am a woman with a fire raging inside.

I am a burning man, strength in tons.

But in my moment of weakness,

The flames explode, and My Temper implodes.

My Guard goes up and I pull it all back in.

If It wasn't for love,

Family, I'd be the burning man.

Stuck in a world on my own.

The clock ticks by...

Some day I'll explode and self destruct.

But I've still got time.

I'm a ticking bomb waiting for my time to expire.

You live life, each breath a countdown

Each Breath, a step closer to self destruct.

Very good, very cool. I really enjoyed this one. I love the language and the flow of it. I really dig the emotion and power behind it. Great work! Keep 'em coming.

[Adam Lebzo -RonninWarri..]

Nice ending... And I wish sometimes i have a self-destruct button

[BryanaBear]

thank you, and I believe most people do

[Be myself!]

I wish we had a self-destruct button. I would be pushing mine after today.

[BryanaBear]

Please don't think that way because somebody else hurts when you hurt youself. Use your writing as an escape

[Geon Quuin]

writing is never an escape. it's an extension of our feelings, ideology, and emotions that we all share to others with anonymity.

[Be myself!]

Yep. I wouldn't hurt myself, I just wish I had a self-destruct button because my job is extremely stressful

[BryanaBear]

i understand that.

[Be myself!]

yep. lol

A very raw and dark poem, love the line "I'm the modern day, hell raiser. Burning inside out" ....I think we all are fighting with our inner demons, sometimes it can lead to self destruction...anyway well done
