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
