Buried Alive....

Buried Alive....

A Poem by Avocations of Amber

I am the atom bomb

You are the town

You fuel my heat

You bring me down

Boiling inside

I spit out flames

Curling above you

the backdraft maims

Knots eat my insides

like poisonous gas

This vile rage

This aftermath

I can't slow it down

I hate myself

this part of me

so deadly , so stealth

I think about death

to ease the pain

The end of it all,

will I go insane?

Why can't I stop

Why can't I go

Cowardly doubting

has foiled me so

Leave me now

inside the night

I'll dig my way out

from black into white

from dark into light

from blindness to sight

I will defeat this..........

I like the poem. Anger, desire and feel of darkness. Good to have three in one poem. Sometime darkness make us come alive and we can have the energy to keep going. I like the complete poem. A strong ending to a outstanding poem.

Ready to explode, pent up anger and sadness. I know the feeling, that you just might explode, maybe you want to, maybe it'd be better. But in the end I think its best to keep it together. The last line... I will defeat this... key word there is will, strong will is necessary. Great write you have here =)
