• The Fire Inside of Me
    By KewlzKryptonite

    I want to scream
    yell
    shout out
    It burns in my throat

    I can not breathe well

    And yet I don't say a thing

    I want to hit something
    tear something
    crush something

    It burns in my joints

    Tears stream down my eyes

    I want to kick something
    stomp something

    And yet I stay still

    It's like a bonfire in my bones

    Tears stream down faster
    it becomes two rivers
    Yet not reaching the flame
    it intensifies

    I'm gasping for air

    I being feed to a fire

    Sitting beside me
    you only see the tears

    After doing it's damage
    it subsides
    All that's left is a smoldering flame

    I can breathe once more
    The air is sweet
    fresh
    and welcomed

    As you look on
    you wonder
    Yet say nothing

    The tears subside

    You look away
    not knowing the disaster you beheld

    I gather myself together
    Try to stay cool
    calm
    collected

    Until the next fire
