We are the sum of our experiences,

The product of our circumstances,

 Powder kegs of emotion and rationality.

 

Each of us can explode, implode, or fizzle out.

 

Me, at first I imploded, 

collapsing into self despair.

Self hatred.

Self loathing.

 

Oh how I yearned to fizzle out,

To simply let my light disappear.

 

A glorious failure, indeed!

 

Explosions are generally viewed as destructive

But, with things such as mining,

They can be vital to progress.

 

Now, I explode.

I explode into song.

I explode into laughter.

I explode into light.

 

I explode into the world with positive energy.
