As the train stopped, we saw flames rising from a tall chimney into a black sky. We stared at the flames in the darkness, and left behind our illusions. Human being were being burned, children thrown into the flames. The smell of burning flesh was in the air. The child I was had been consumed by the flames. They consumed my faith forever. They turned my dreams to ashes. Thick smoke had poisoned my soul. It had been invaded—and devoured—by a black flame. The desire to live had transformed into smoke, And it disappeared over the horizon forever. Were this fire to be extinguished one day, nothing would be left but the dead. Anguish on their faces, and hate in their eyes for all eternity. To this infernal hell for all eternity we were condemned. Hate lit the fire that was the beginning of the end.

The Flames of Death: A Found Poem A found poem from the Novel Night by Elie Wiesel
I’m suddenly bombarded by a wave of panic I’m slowly drowning A unexplained darkness starts to surround me I can feel the adrenaline course through my veins I’m flooded by it’s sweet pain I can’t wait for when this is over finally My hands start shaking violently Blood rushes to my cheeks turning them bright red I can’t move I’m trapped inside my own head I can’t think I can’t see everything’s getting foggy An invisible serpent slithers it’s way up my body Squeezing and squeezing it tightens as it’s makes its way to my neck It’s slithers around me it’s so grotesque Slowing curling around. It grips tighter and  tighter My lungs are burning now they’re on fire My throat starts to close and I can’t speak My legs turn to rubber and they become so weak ***** is slowly rising burning its way up my throat My chest feels as though it’s going to explode I gasp for air as I silently choke And the pressure will just increase My stomach knots and hot tears slide down my cheeks My heart beats rapidly to an ominous beat I’m burning and sweating I can’t handle this heat My panic clouds my brain and I can’t think I collapse and shrink My jaw is sore from gritting my teeth I look fine on the outside but I’m fighting a silent battle underneath I can’t breathe I can’t breathe I can’t breathe Why won’t it stop why won’t it cease With all this pain my teeth start to grind I’m Held captive within my own mind I’m going to die I’m going to die I’m going to die Why won’t it stop why why why My anxiety is exploding in my brain Im engulfed by this excruciating pain It’s like a tidal wave of suffering I’m just trying not to be drowned I’m screaming and suffocating but no one seems to hear a sound But suddenly my anxiety starts to slowly relinquish its power It’s only been a few minutes but it felt like hours My heart  starts to slow and I start to relax My ability to breathe slowly comes back I look down surprised to find my body intact I’m fine it was just another panic attack

I’m fine The little lie I tell every day I’m fine Besides the anxiety and depression that won’t go away I’m fine My insomnia just keeps me awake every night I’m fine I’m just always violently shaking with fright I’m fine I just cant seem to get out of my bed I’m fine I just cant escape my own head

I’m fine
My mind is a messy bedroom It’s an endless void of anxiety and gloom Littered with the words I never said Drawers ready to burst with all the thoughts inside my head My insomnia is thrown across my bed Anxiety covers the cluttered ground Depression is found all around The smell of old rotting dreams fills the air Thoughts are scattered everywhere My sanity slowly starts to unfold I’m Tethered to my bed like my safe haven in the storm that is the world But it’s just a mirage my demons follow even in my bed You can’t outrun your troubles when they’re confined to your head My mind is a prison I can’t move i can’t see I’m losing my vision Serving this life sentence in my mind for a crime I didn’t commit I wont admit or come to grips With the fact that my enemy is me My anxiety, depression and insomnia won’t just let me be I may be alive but I’m already dead inside The old me has died I’m Held captive within my own mind Chained to the wall of depression and anxiety I built Nothing grows here my dreams all wilt Im bound to the confines of my own mind My sanity is slowly slipping out of my grasp I’m just sitting here as life goes past My mind is a tidal wave of pain I’m drowning inside my own brain I’m suffocating  in a sea of my own tears But I can’t stop crying I’ve been doing this for years My anxiety is crashing around my brain Im engulfed by this excruciating pain I have forgotten what the surface looks like I’ve been drowning for so long Swept away in a sea of despair It’s Unfair I’m Tossing and turning The waves pound me in my sleep I’m screaming and suffocating but no one can hear a sound I cant remember when I stoped swimming and started to drown
