"Break The Circuit"...trying out a new style with my poetry, feedback please?
This is a poem called "Break The Circuit." It is about the unleashing of overpowering emotions and the pure havoc that is created when untamed emotions are released. I tried a new style with this one, everyone please let me know what you think.
----------------------------------------------------
Superfluous energy
pulsing and raving through my body,
raw.
I am a circuit.
A circuit for the manic, misunderstood jolts,
foster children in my electric veins
that nobody took the time to comprehend.
A circuit for the undomesticated beasts
of rage, running frenzied orbits
through my body.
A circuit for the violently-trembling
electrodes of vengeance, creatures of fury
running rampant in me.
Shall the energy be forever perpetuating?
No--the circuit must eventually be shattered;
releasing murderous particles into the vulnerable air,
splitting multiple atoms in its hungry wake,
sending electrified needles into the open space
which feeble men occupy.
There must be some outlet--some way
to liberate the endlessly cycling
molecules of agony
from my convulsing system--
free the microscopic killers--
science be damned, I am a creature
of ire!
Let the wild monsters overthrow all existing order;
let them wind up into an explosive steam
and detonate in the faces of my oppressors;
let them electrocute any challengers with barbaric acrimony;
let them destroy all.
