Fire Escape

I escaped the dreadful gleams of radiant light which pierced my sight with it's blazing rays I couldn't see anything before me, it surrounded me I saw nothing at all So I closed my eyes to the blasting light Which shinned down until it hurt,my thoughts My breath, it burned I was melting away Never to be seen again except as a Pile of ashes and dust But before it had touched me completley within I found a way out of the fire That reached every piece of me I've ever known, until there was almost nothing left In a moment I stepped through to the other side Of the flames Now I was on the outside looking in And never was I going inside again The fires that burn, Won't burn me no more
