This hell inside

Hate boils in my blood

Which sizzles and pops like molten lava

But this hate is not only for them

It’s also mine to choke under

For I am the problem

The person who started this all

I did this to myself

I wish so much, that I could time travel

Back to that day

But unfortunately

Life doesn’t hold that power in hand

I have lost control

Days, Months, Years, of bundled stress, fury and angst

Explode from my soul as an erupting volcano

Smoldering fire spews from my lips

My hands are not mine anymore

My mind is absent

I feel lifeless but more alive than ever

My eyes burn like coals, putrid smoke protrudes from my charcoaled skull

I try to call for help, but my voice is gone

My tongue is swallowed in a molten crust

Who am I anymore?

I cannot undo what is done

I cannot escape from Hell
