Eruption


I’m living in a volcano,

Where the walls tremble and shake

With mighty roars,

And the ground crumbles

Beneath my feet,

And the lava is rising,

The heat is suffocating,

And I can hardly breathe,

My heart is burning

As the flames trap me beneath them,

The ash is choking me

As I inhale it,

Painfully,

I know,

As the lava rises to engulf me,

That the eruption will soon come to claim me.

I have been writing poetry for 5 years now and I have a collection of over 600 original poems I've made. I submitted a poem to Appelley Publishing and was published in the 2018 addition of their poetry book. I love to read and write, and I have a cat and a hamster.
