Eating Fire Yet Feeling No Burns
Eating Fire But Feeling No Burns
My life ran with many twists and turns
I ate fire felt not the ravaging burns,
crawled across razorblades with glee
nothing was sacred , and nothing was me
Time wrapped me in a devilish cocoon
hated the world , wanted the end soon,
sent pain out asking for more in return
wanted to fall, die and then slowly burn
Then life made a sharp , sudden return
I found her and no longer wanted to burn,
why did this blessing enter my sad life
why did she ever desire to be my wife
Our merciful God gifts as he so desires
to we that foolishly eat of the evil fires,
gives generously of his fruitful trees
hears all of our sobs, moans and pleas
My life runs within a sure steady path
I sleep so well, no fear of God's wrath,
O' bright light that I finally get to see
hand of God resting over an undeserving me!
