My life is a burning mess,

I'm consumed in a whirlwind of heat,

The pain inside me lingers like a flame that won't extinguish,

The trauma from when I was assaulted and harassed,

It's like a fire that's slowly creeping up,

Consuming everything in its path,

I'm burning up inside with the rage and pain that remains from those dark times,

I'm like a fire that needs to be put out.
