Feb 2014
I’m at a bridge of a breaking point cracking in place
And my toes are itching to step forward
With my voice about to echo fiercely
Furiously raging out of the wrongs done
From all the miniscule things said upon me
Resting on my shoulders pushing down heavily
Bowing my spine in multiple directions
Twisting it ways it was never meant to turn

My eyes are filled with boiling flames
As I swallow it down burning my throat
Soon to simmer in the far corners of my mind
A fight will erupt from my chest charred inside
From the millions of matches lit beneath my feet
Climbing up my body on molecules God created
From ash was I made to which I shall return
To settle on the path below that I walk
Fearlessly ready to sink teeth into anyone in the way

At this point my only desire steps towards that threshold
Snapping at the heels of ferocious passion
Begging me to reach out and grab indignation by the collar
Pulling it into me like a lover long lost
And as the wrath seeps into my nails they dig into skin
Burrowing deeper into the bones of enemies
Who once swore upon my name leaving me disgraced
But my grip comes undone upon their unfortunate necks
As a cool breeze taps along mine swaying my mind

And I smile at the thought of silence covering me
Caused by a sweet resonating sound in my ear
Angels purring away a fire starting in my heart
Saving the only scorched senses I have left
The vibration of their vibrato lies upon me
Snuffing out a blazing inferno engulfing my soul
Finally able to breathe without the ignition of embers
They calmed the flickers of seething anger
And rested a glass of hope in my palm
Extinguishing the flames dancing behind my eyes
Quenching the hunger of resentment
Settling my heart after all that of which
Could never be fixed inside
