The Ring Of Fire

Description at end...

The ring of fire

is full of adolescent liars

they won't say what's on their mind

they'll store it inside

too much stress

yet no sign of their mess

responsibilities that mocked

so they keep tightly locked

pressure builds up

then, we erupt. 

Description- I wrote this a long time ago but it is still one of the pieces that I'm most proud of. You can interpret it however you want, but to me, this poem is about how people my age have an unhealthy tendency to keep our feelings bottled up inside. Eventually, it all becomes too much and we break down.
