sometimes your heart
stretches
its seams and you have to
pour it all out before it
bursts.
i can feel it now…
but i take the sharpened end
of my pencil tip and i pierce
a hole in my heart so that i do not
explode and then implode again like
a supernova, then a black hole,
crushing in on myself.
but i take that pencil tip and i
slip it through the hole until it is
all crimson dripping,
perfect! now i can write all of it
write it all out so that i never overfill
again.
oh no.
it does not erase.

seems so selfless
how could it be just to keep me from exploding from guilt?
turns out forgiveness is for the offender
there is no comfort for the victim
except a way forward

I don’t care anymore
I just want to see you glow
And then explode

my mind is going to explode
not sure how much longer I can stay on this rope
my arms, legs, and hands are giving up
my days blend into weeks, there is no living up
no laughter-filled dawns or innocent wrongs
all so mundane, just a playing pawn
in a losing game, just losing weight
it's depressing this depression, I wish I invested but now I am stressing
they say it's a blessing which is distressing because I feel like I am suppressing
underneath the weight of academics, surprised I made it through 12
first-year almost broke me and second year is not discerning
my mind is going to explode
the candle won't stop burning
my cup is overflowed

All the words I want to say
Balled up, I throw away
Because at the end of the day
It doesn't matter anyway
What will it change if I were to say
The things in my chest, boiling away
Coiled up, as if it were to say
I am going to explode any day

Stand clear
I’m a bomb and I’m set to explode.
I swear
It’s best that I do this alone.
Head for the hills love,
Go lock your doors.
It’s how I’m programmed,
I can’t do more.
Leave me be and let me explode.
You can’t stay here, love
I can’t disengage.
My manual is missing pages…
Tonight, I’m shooting straight for the moon.
Oh, I won’t be back soon.
Tonight, I’m going to detonate.
Oh, I don’t wanna be late.
Don’t wait.
Don’t wait for me.

be careful when handling me.
my body was built with gunpowder,
and someone lit my fuse
long before we met.
be aware that at any moment,
I could burst.
you can run away now
and never look back,
or you can wait here with me
and together, we'll look up at the sky.
it's entirely your choice.
but, darling, if you can't accept
the chaos inside of me,
then you will have no right
to comment on
my beautiful explosion.

There are different kinds of fragility
One that bends,
And one that breaks
Step on a flower,
It withers
Step on a bomb
It explodes

You're the lighter that ignites my spark
and causes my inner gunpowder to mark
the darkened sky with an explosion of coloured lights;
I'm a firework landmark of the nights.

When you feel like you're about to explode,
that's when you start pushing people away,
but somehow at any point,
sharpnels reach them anyway.

Put my emotions in a glass jar,
closed the lid on a real tight.
Set it aside.
Take the next big best thing,
make myself occupied.
Thinking it can make me happy.
Now I can't get through to my emotions
Without having it exploding on me,
like fireworks on the 4th of July.

It was a dark and stormy day,
Cooking tea in the usual way,
This was my mother long ago,
"Don't touch the pressure cooker, no!"
Subtly, she left the scene,
Forgot the cooker, its head of steam,
Bang! Did that curry explode,
Mum's response, implode!
"Why didn't you check that stove?"
"You told me not to touch it, no!"
All I can say on this, fifty years later,
Don't use pressure to cook my curry or taters!

Taste the world;
with every dish
that brings such a bliss.
Let your receptors explore,
the burning sensation of spice;
the tingling sensation of sour.
Allow your tongue to be coated
in the cotton candy sweetness.
Take crusty bites between your teeth
letting it explode into a thousand little pieces -
dancing inside your mouth.
Allow the citrusy undertones
to trigger serotonin
and curve the edges of your mouth.
Allow your brain to relish
your taste buds to embellish
as your hunger diminishes.

Trying to do it right
Don't let the anger ignite
Trying not to set it off
Avoid it, I know it's my fault!
Can you back away?
Before I blow it into the fade?
Because I swear I'm trying
To stop this anger from striking like lightning
Trying to do it right!!! Alright?
Without picking up the knife tonight!
I can't KB, I'm tempted, I'm crazy
It is a bomb, ready to burst... I don't want it to hurt
Trying to do it right!!! Him in Sight!
My emotions have turned into explosions in the sky
Try... Trying to do it right...
Trying to do it right...It's what I have to do
Trying hard to put out this flaring fuse
Trying to blow it out
Before it burns this temple down
Can you keep the gasoline?
Many galaxies away from me?
Don't wanna light it up in flames
And have it break down the love that Christ gave...
Trying to do it right!!! Alright?
Without picking up the knife tonight!
I can't KB, I'm tempted, I'm crazy
It is a bomb, ready to burst... I don't want it to hurt
Trying to do it right!!! Him in Sight!
My emotions have turned into explosions in the sky
Try... Trying to do it right...
Sometimes I fail and I blend in with the ash
Beauty from the ashes is the catch
It takes time to refine a jewel
So don't take me for a fool...
I'm trying to do it right alright? ALRIGHT!
Reforming to be a weapon to FIGHT!
Trying to do it right!!! Alright?
Without picking up the knife tonight!
I can't KB, I'm tempted, I'm crazy
It is a bomb, ready to burst... I don't want it to hurt
Trying to do it right!!! Him in Sight!
My emotions have turned into explosions in the sky
Try... Trying to do it right...

It's just that my life is so crazy
and when I am with you,
everything I am dealing with
seems to explode into tiny particles.
But now that you have left me,
my life has gone mad again
and I just need you
so that everything could slow down for a second.
I crave the calmness you give my soul.
B.K.

I felt the emptiness
of the universe in my soul.
It bursted into living flames,
even my skin burned.
I could barely breathe,
demons had colonized my soul.
I had been living with this
exhausting feeling
for so long, my eyes
had them painted
as to show their most beloved treasure.
They told me,
“do not dare to act like you do not deserve this”.
Who are these demons
wearing my skin?
I might explode into meteorites,
to extinguish what surrounds me, what I loved.

My heart can’t take another moment
The beats are slowing
It has exploded

She's a ticking timebomb
With triggers of every bitter taste, she tries to swallow
And as she wallows in the dark,
drives by every thought
is a tick to the blow.
She's a ticking timebomb
And another tick-tock is growth to the bang
She holds carefully
and hides it like her fangs
Will it ever burst
Or soon just wane?
Whatever goes
However it turns
All she wants is anything but a bomb
she keeps in her chest
slowly beating just to blast.

Tears I'm trying to hold back,
Pain that's stuck in my chest,
Words I want to shout,
Situations inside my head.
I'm trying with all my might,
this tears not to fall when you're on sight.
In my back I'm carrying a heavy load,
I think I'm gonna explode.

Ready to explode
Wait a minute, don’t leave me
Things will get butter

from a dry split pod,
a lot of winged seeds explode;
