explosions

I started unwinding my head in sandpaper

But the sheets disappeared

And I was left with thin air

I was unable to breathe because of all the red surrounding me

A flare shoots in the sky and it explodes

Violently.

So...

So,

Violently.

And my chest is having convulsions because of my mind control

I've used it too much

And I'm sinking in a hole

The darkness is covered with blotches of orange

My fingernails are embedded in my palms because I try so hard to keep calm

Keep calm

Keep

Calmness is a still pool of ocean water

My pool is overflowing and the plants are dying

It's stained by the blood that pours from my vocal chords

And the life in my ocean is dying

My mind is an explosion

And I'm ready to blow
