I Am A Walking Disaster
I am a walking disaster
Like quicksand, I latch on to people and don’t let go
Smother until they drown in the love and insanity
Like an avalanche, I am rough and crash through my life
Tear through everything and everyone in my path
Like an earthquake, I am dramatic and unstable
Shockwaves follow me and force those around me to adapt to the shake ups
Like a volcanic eruption, I let my emotions explode
Holding in the anger, the sadness, the defeat until it blows up around me
Like a flood, I let my emotions overpower me
Wash over me, pull me under, drown me in the sorrows and pain
Like a blizzard, I can be cold and calculating
A strong wind to blow down anyone who stands to hurt me
Like a thunderstorm, I am loud and unpredictable
Emotions come and go in flashes yet roar like a rolling thunder
I am a walking disaster
But is that disaster more a danger to others…
…or to myself?
