The Explosion Within
Unheard cries and unspoken words

Suddenly, a volcano
Appeared from her bed
She was breathing heavily
The burning debris inside her body was slowly burning the inside
She looked around
There were people around her who knew
How could it explode
She thought so
But that was wrong
No one knew her
If they had, would they have allowed her to burn so much?
If there was one person, she would have only needed one word to extinguish it,
And she would have known it
And she would have continued to burn
And the smoke would have spread
And those who had forgotten that she existed would have remembered her,
And they would have said
Don't explode
It's not about exploding, it's about living on the road
And they would have shouted
It's too late
Sorry
It's hard to do it again
She said slowly.
I'm exploding now.

Aww so heartbreaking. Why didn’t anyone save her, even if they didn’t know her? Excellent story.
