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.

Fuse

The fuse is lit, there is no going back

I feel it coming, ready to attack

It’s standing there, breaking my will

I don’t want it to happen, I remember it still

The flame travels, further down it goes

I steady myself, ready for the final blows

The cuts the scrapes, they build and build

Until I look down, my whole body filled

The spark hits the spot, the bomb explodes

It all floods in, taking what’s owed

I do not fight back, I let myself lose

It all started with a spark, a light, a fuse
