Fire

Fire

Anger burns in me when not satisfied
My blood rushes to my head
Unhappy, I light a fire deep down
I can’t extinguish what I create

Satisfaction is a necessity
I turn into an uncontrollable force
Furious I see flames
Which have no light but scorch

My eyes turn melancholiac
With the cinders left in me 
I can’t distinguish between right and wrong 
An uneasy dread creeps in and draws confusion

Weight arrives on my shoulders
I can never cool down from the anguish
That foreshadows me secretly
Curiosity fills itself around

Questions begin to unravel
There conspires the evil
Doubt mocks the innocent 
Igniting the fire and flames

Sounds like you are in a really dark spot there, that is painful. Your images are really really clear too! Great job.

True and deep poem, your expression is real and that's why I like it. There are not many real things in this world left anymore. Also, your courage to look deep within and express it.
