Explosion
When I was born, my ears busted,
I listened to music as loud as it can go,
My ears could not take the sound, so they just bust.
I do not have to worry about that anymore,
I am deaf, I cannot hear the combustion
But I can feel it in my heart and soul.
The heat of the spontaneous combustion,
Burning flames that spread and increase,
The sparks of the deafening explosions,
Creating a chaotic scene.
I feel the heat of the fire,
I can feel it in my veins,
The soundless combustion,
Making me numb with pain.
I try to block it out,
But it still lingers on,
The silent combustion,
That will never be gone.
I may not be able to hear it,
But I can feel its power,
The silent combustion,
That will forever tower.
