Tears will never put it out! My very being—an onslaught daily as the fire gets bigger. More water! More! Please, I beg of you! Either put it out or let me burn to ashes! I cannot hold on any longer! Losing my breath; somehow drowning in this unbearable, scorching heat! Is there anyone I can trust? Anyone? Perhaps I should consider that this fire ends just a few steps away. Then I shall move on and see where new paths take me! Just please, as I step forward, don't let the fire spread! I cannot endure lest I can trust someone! Someone to pull me out! Don't let me burn in this ineradicable flame!
