Analysis of In Need of Peace
There are emotions running through my mind.
They are trying to find their way out.
They know the way to get out is through the mouth.
The mouth is ready to speak, but there is no one to talk to now.
Oh no, the emotions have to stay in.
My emotions are mad because they can't come out.
My emotions are trapped.
Trapped in a place where they are dying to come out.
When they finally have a chance to come out, they will be like hot lava erupting from a volcano.
Then my heart, body, and soul will be like a volcano when it is done erupting, calm and at peace.

About this poem
In this world we find ourselves holding all our emotions inside from ourselves and others. When we do want to talk, we may run into obstacles such as noone being available to talk. More and more emotions build up causing longing for someone to talk to.
