Facing the Furnace

Facing The Furnace Riding on the storm of emotion Burning through my body tonight Had enough of mindless devotion Looking for a reason to fight And the storm ignites me in earnest It's tearing hard to break out of me I'm facing the furnace, facing the furnace Raging through my body and trying so hard to break free There's a fire raging bright inside me It's burning hard it wants to break free I'm facing the furnace, facing the furnace Gotta let it go before it destroys me There's evil in my thoughts about you It's gnawing like a rat in a cage I really don't care now what you do I'm beyond reasoning with my rage And the evil is making me nervous More nervous than I have ever been I'm facing the furnace, facing the furnace Racing through my body and trying so hard to break free There's a fire raging bright inside me It's burning hard it wants to break free I'm facing the furnace, facing the furnace Gotta let it go before it destroys me I'm facing the furnace, facing the furnace Gonna burn, gonna burn so bright I'm feeling the furnace facing the furnace Gonna burn, gonna burn tonight Unleashing the furnace, facing the furnace It'll burn, it'll burn so bright Releasing the furnace, facing the furnace It'll burn, it'll burn as I fight There's a fire raging bright inside me It's burning hard it wants to break free I'm facing the furnace, facing the furnace Gotta let it go before it destroys me Jane Shields (C)

Sorry to hear that.. contests are free though.. you are right, the poet paints images with their words.. I think membership is about $37, but you might not even need it..

I like your poems because you write so deep and emotively but so simply that a reader understands them.. if you get premium membership you cab add an image or music.

I write to images, the reader should be able to paint the image fairly easily. I don't have the money to pay to post my work, or make songs, or enter a lot of competitions. x

Glad you can understand it. Many people don't. I write to images. I find a great image and my imagination runs riot. xx
