Disasters Within Me

Disasters Within Me

A Poem by Lexi Richard

My mind is full of thunderstorms
my heart holds tidal waves
my thoughts are like a tornado
talk like a hurricane
I am not a frail snowflake
or a subtle April breeze
I'm nothing like a wispy cloud
I am a tsunami
Treat me like a flower
and I'll treat you like the dirt
I am full of volcanoes
mess with me and get burnt
-l.r.

your welcome, keep it up :)
I like your idea of trying to mix weather types, but you're hitting me with lots of ideas without going into depth on any of them. I don't get the idea of treating someone like dirt in return for being treated nicely. You have a confident poetic voice.

Thank you! And what I meant by that is don't treat me a fragile/useless little thing that is nothing.. read more
I guess you can take the natural disasters in the world and turn them into our own personal feelings. With that being said I am a volcano 24/7... You did a really great job expressing the comparisons... This piece is filled with great imagery... This is a girl you do not wanna double cross because if you do you will wake up missing an arm or a leg... Great job girl

This reminds me of the works Eli and myself makes and I'm not trying to compare you to us (if that offends you or not) but I like the talk and the comparisons
