I saw a fire place,
with flames,
And i just sat there,
I sat there in front of the open fire,
And watched the two logs and how they popped sparks like popcorn,
I watched as the flame made its way down and across the log so it would soon be completely black.
Coal.  
As i sat i thought about all the things i could do with the flame.
All the things that could be burned,
All the memories i wish i could forget,
I looked down at my arm
I reached my hand into the flame to grab the log.
Coal.
My hand didn't burn,
My arms did not burn,
My arm hair didn't even burn,
It was at that point I realized I might be fictional
Coal.
I held the burning block in my hand,
I felt a pain.
But it wasn't in my hand, it was in my heart.
No matter how hard I tried,
I couldn't make the flame consume me too,
I couldn't burn my arm,
I couldn't die,
I couldn't
In this poem, Coal, the coal represents Suicide, and what does everything else represent? Well that's up to you and your experience.
