I actually like this poem so don't hate on it, thank you.

Emotions held inside of a volcano

Voices of people make you tenser,

And weaker, unable to designate

You wonder if it’s your fault,

Throw that one deep beneath the inner layers

Slowly erupting, you keep bottled up

You want to say something, but 

Less drama equals less trauma

Is what you say when all you have left Is your self

More taunts and verbal impropers hit the

Sound of your ears, and at once you burst

A rush of lava ignites inside of you

Reaching the top layer, you break

Erupting out of nowhere

The confrontation which was once obscured,

Is now an open invitation of what was left unsaid

Lava flows down

All of which was built up has now erupted

A volcanic rupture

This pressure of agony has risen to 

Your mouth for external use

Words slipping away, you speak your mind

Everything that was once held in, has 

Now escaped the lava 

And has cooled down

Obsidian 

Becoming a hard layered rock

From inside and out

You don’t trust anymore or pester

The people you’ve once known

They are ashes to you now

A Volcanic smoke that is left behind

Leaving your volcanic masses.
