Fire Burning Bright

Fire burning bright

scorching the heart

piercing through

hurting you

black as coal

tears into your soul

Breathe, Breathe, Breathe.

Eyes are drenched,

fists are clenched

rotting thoughts

refusing to connect the dots

nails dig deep

bursting emotions, ready to weep

Breathe, Breathe, Breathe.

Life is not kind

but keep this in mind

have patience in your heart

hold back from falling apart,

stay on the path, don’t stray,

keep smiling; That is the only way

and, Breathe, Breathe, Breathe.
