Fire

The alarms set off
ringing louder and louder
until smoke fills the room
no longer able to breathe
i set myself in the corner
flames rise above me
of both orange and yellow
screaming for help, sobbing
and gasping for crisp clean air
i run right through the clouds,
burst out the door
to find it was all just a dream
