Consuming Fire

Consuming Fire There’s just something greater, there has to be. Something inside of me longs for something more. It’s inexplicable; this hunger, this thirst. More than anything, I want it. The emptiness inside consumes me but so does this fire. It’s a battle inside the depths of my mind, battling for sanity. Stagnant, immovable, stuck… Not knowing how to move forward yet not wanting to go back to the way things were. I need change, I desperately need it. I NEED something greater, I KNOW there must be something more than this meaningless life in which menial and insignificant temporary acts are attained that hold no eternal value. These temporary pleasures no longer satisfy me. They only enrage the fire inside me to greater levels. The simple life that holds no purpose is not the life for me anymore.
