I am Krakatoa

I am Krakatoa

Anger burns the fabric of my heart reducing it to dusty blackened ashes
Yet,for now, I control it...
No-one sees my acrimony,
all theyย  see is compliant me.
A nobody in their eyes,
easily forgotten andย  overlooked.
Thisย  waiting to erupt becomes almost intolerable.
My anger is truly unfathomable.
My secret pain hidden deep within the magma of my soul..churning, writhing..
sometime a little escapes,
just a little..
not so much anyone notices..
but I do.....
I notice..
I retract it..
I keep it bubbling,simmering....
The heat of my anger dries any tears to vapour..which coils and rises above me like a halo of hate
My mask smiles constantly...the gullible see only that..
They are never prepared for the reality of rapacious pain and a lacerated spirit and ultimately its satiating revenge
I have forgotten how to love...oh I rehearse the words well enough..never needing a prompt..but that seems to beย  sufficient for the unseeing.
The time is comingย  soon when this heat within me scorches and longs to find a way out..burning up through a heart no longer there..raging within vocal chordsย  that only know serene tones and muted approbation
Lungs filling with the air of avengement
I have control....
I can wait....
In the dark of night when no one expects me
I will be at my most destructive.
Most unforgiving.
My mostย  abhorrent.
Beware all you who have looked beyond me and seen nothing
Beware all you who have never asked me โ€˜whyโ€™
Beware and take shelter for the apocalyse about to reign,
For soon, very soon, all will be swallowed in my hate,
my revenge,ย 
my powerย 
a paroxysm ofย  rageย  will light
ย the heavens,
blinding all about and slowly covering everywhere with a brimstone pyroplastic revenge
that flows unchecked and destroys everything in its path.
Yes I feel the time is near,
I can see the sky through the open crater of my wounded essence.
It begins and once initiated will run its course of devastation
Fear me...
hear me...
know me.. for
I AM Krakatoa!

Metaphorically excellent! Great momentum and powerful throughout! Sorry for not commenting earlier.

Wow Lodigiana,
This is so brilliant ( if a little bit scary ). The words build with the anger but you can feel the explosive suppression of the anger as well. Great, very powerful metaphoric imagery.ย  pinned for it's power,
Nigel
PS my friend if an actual person or their actions has brought about the wakening of the volcano I used to be very good with a sniper rifle.
