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.
