I dipped my feet
In fire
I felt the burn
Reach up
I felt it rattle
My knees
Turn down
To bow
To fear
I feel
The rain
Above
I tell myself
I’ll drown
I lay my head low
I wait
The heal
Rain on fire
Feeding
Desire
Feeling growth
I feel the rain
And reach
I reach for air
And wait
Till the fire
Becomes smoke
Till the rain
Hits hard enough
Until I am
awoke
I shed this heavy
Cloak
Dangling around me
under me
I climb
Above hell
I climb until I see
That I am not
Afraid
I climb until I see
That I am free
I reach for me

I reach for me
