The Bread

As I went into the heat
A searing scorching heat
I felt the burning in my feet
From all that searing heat

I felt I could not move
Not left nor right could I move
I was trapped inside a box
And nowhere could I move

It felt as if my insides will explode
If felt the pressure – I will explode!
As I pressed against all sides
With a pressure to explode

I climbed up the sides
Up I climbed – up the sides
My head burnt by searing heat
I climbed on up the sides

I managed to get to the top to see
Up to the top where I could see
The bigger box I was within
That from the top I could see

And as my head burnt golden brown
I hardened had, a rounded crown
My insides then settled down
As my head was golden brown
