WRITING OBSTACLE
Inspired by Amber A
Use the metaphor of a fuse being lit and its impending explosion to represent a mental eruption of a strong emotion.
Consider how you will develop this metaphor with strong visual and emotional representation.
My Escape
⚠️TW: SELF HARM ⚠️
I stood up
Walked across my room
Everything a little hazy
A mental photo of a lighter
The flame small and steady
Each step i took down the steps
The flame got bigger
Bigger and bigger
I stood in the kitchen
The flame big enough to destory a kingdom
My heart beating
The knife in my hands
With no recollection of picking it up
My vision blurring with my tears
My heart pounding so hard
Nearly falling out of my chest
The pain sharp and nice
Blood flowing down my arm
Down my chest
The flame destroying my kingdom
Leaving me to fall
Waking up in a hospital bed
The flame still burning
The sweet sweet pain
Gone
