Analysis of lit
a man is a bomb,
he holds so much potential.
he holds weight.
the bomb waits.
many mistake it as harmless.
the bomb is not as noisy as the firework;
always puts herself out there, the fire works.
until the bomb is lit.
light travels up the end of the string,
and suddenly our celebration is a bloodbath
