My mind is a wildfire
The forest of thoughts bring smoke
Blackened, charred and hopeless
Scarlet embers escape my mouth
Giving fuel to scorch the earth
Igniting like fireflies
Giving security to my doubt

My evergreen
My oak
My pine
My forest a cesspool now
Molten, murded life
Maturity, a myth in the blaze of my mind.
Maybe i deserve it

Take my hand and burn it
Take my arm and burn it
I cannot burn my burden
But burning stops my hurting

My mind is a wildfire
Too big for rain to contain
Burning so bright that any new flames
Are lost in the entirety
The enormous liquid blaze
Burning down beauty
She cries my name

A river flows out
And clenches my hands
Cooling the scars
Dewlet drops shine like stars
Her eyes
Her smile a bridge
Crossing the river, into the bank
Taken away from the fire
My brain

My mind is a wildfire
The emerald trees crimson
Untethered unstoppable
His rage is persistence
She gave me some water
Gave me hope, will, to fight
To live with the fire
But watch it from a distance

— The End —
