Bomb Shell

Beautiful Uncertainty. Life is not black and white neither are our emotions or motivations.

Bomb Shell

I am an emotional bombshell
I know joy, sadness, and all that is in between
I know all of these emotions and exert them very well
I have been to the breaking point and made my way back
I have been so high on life
This high surpassed any drug cocaine or crack
No need for speed life is already moving too fast
But I can never seem to out run my haunting past
Time is limited and it is a fact we will all die
But I want to explain who what when and where
While telling my tale instead of asking why

I am an emotional bombshell
I have known the secrets of heaven
While peaking through hell
I have seen more highs and lows then the stock market
I have witnessed true freedom
While securing it in my pocket
Unbridled and Unbrided
Thin line between independent and lonely
I�ve admitted denial and denied it
Claiming my stability like my taxes
I try to appear NORMAL but the fact is�.

I am an emotional bombshell
Just as clarity creeps into my mind
I learn I know nothing and still
I press through life unsure of my motivation
Voluntarily forced to complete my unknown mission
Ignorance somehow doesn�t disprove its importance or my dedication
Life for me is more ironic and entertaining then any episode
Due to the anticipation of my soul�s emancipation
I suppress any indication that I may one day�..EXPLODE!

So what motivates YOU not to explode?

Long sentences and lack punctuation give that trapped feeling to the reader. It makes us feel kind of rushed like you're a bomb waiting for to detonate, I like that. The few ellipses here and there are almost like more ticking of the bomb. But I feel that you could have included a little more descriptions of the tumultuousness within within the speaker emotionally. You talk about highs and lows.. ok .. but i think it would help to fully understand why all the pressure building up inside. You've kept it inside.. why ?

I like it so far though I just think you can develop the emotional side of it more.
And yeah, I've actually wondered myself and have had people wonder why I don't really explode under some of the emotional stresses. I guess I've never seen any real benefit from an explosion. It shakes things up roughly for a good bit and then things gradually settle back the way they were...seems pointless sometimes .. which is one reason why I can understand why the emotional bombshell of the speaker hasn't exploded.. But here it also seems as if the speaker really needs to explode.. and that it would only be theraputic.
