Ashes

My mind has ignited.
soon turning to ashes

Next to turn to ashes is the pain. 
The pain that furies

Soon it will be consumed.

It fears me,
But I won't be the one.
That fears it

I can feel the fire
It consumes my body.

Slowly.

Painfully. 

Soon it will be I 
Who consist of no more.
Then a pile of ashes.
