Dismissed Fault

Wrote this in a few minutes.

Volcanic eruptions visible

Through viscous clouds

Through distended eyes

 

Bursting like a neutron star

Inevitable

Hemorrhaging mind

 

Forecasted internal collapse

Meteorologists

They scoff and laugh

 

Contaminated waters lapse

Against the shores

Of the remaining atoll

 

Warning lost in a woven smile

As time reaches end

The wound opens

 

Prescribed acerbic capsules

Stitch the cut

Forcing it shut

 

Polluted emotion accumulates

The dam bends

The pressure escalates

 

In a storm of fire and molten rock

The ground is set ablaze

The laughter stops

 

Imprisoned in this ashen room

The padded enclosure

Is for my own good

My favorite part was, "Bursting like a neutron star
Inevitable
Hemorrhaging mind"

This was such a great write!

"Polluted emotion accumulates
The dam bends
The pressure escalates"
