She tried to steel her trembling heart.
Her shaking hands.
She wanted to quiet the rage, fear, and tremor she felt within.
The volcano within her was rumbling, throbbing.
The pressure was building up.
It was almost the breaking point.
The molten lava was boiling.
The volcano, on the verge of exploding;
Spewing out the potent, scorching mass;
Burning everything in its wake.
She was exhausted.
She was burned out.
