Jul 2016
the fire burning up my chest and finding its evacuation through my tear stained grimace
the fire never ends but there's a brief period where it's bearable
it's stagnant heat is subdued but only through its torrential escape
for one moment the fire poisons the world but suddenly it is purged
the earth is reborn through clarity and calm before the flames lick their way back into my consciousness
that is why the fire burns
the need to be set free
