To speak is like a volcano inside a mountain
A green mountain, big and tall
Inside, beneath the surface the ground rumbles
Hot lava boils up and the center of the earth is revealed
If one pokes at it in a curious way
It rumbles faster, creating pressure in the heart
The pressure rises and it wants to go
To spill out and show the world it's there
But it can’t
If this volcano erupts it might not stop
Destroying that perfect mountain
And the land around it
It could cause other hidden volcanoes to go off
Or reveal a part of land no one knows about
So mother nature builds a thicker surface
Protecting its vulnerable center
To keep peace
