Rising Fire

The fire inside of me is rising and growing
I'm trying hard to resist myself
For it is nearly exploding.

The flames are wild
Like the snakes on Medusa's head.
They dance inside of me
In yellow, orange, and red.

The gasoline in your words are fueling my fire
So if you don't want regret
Stop making the flames grow higher.

Please put out my fire
For the flames have overgrown.
Now I have unleashed my deadly fire
And your fear has been shown.
