A balloon can only hold air upto a certain limit,

it will eventually explode.

It’s loud POP! 

That’llwill leave your heart racing─

like a gunshot. 

Yet, after knowing this some will still continue to 

blow air into it

I can only hold onto so much pain─ so much misery

But I know one day, I will tear into pieces just like

A balloon 

If only those who surround me would understand,

that as they blow onto me

I They grow me closer 

to the verge of an outburst 

One that will leave them scared as hell When they hear me POP!
