My emotions burst into flames,

Ablaze right before my eyes,

Crisping my brain to ash black,

As I feel I might be going insane.

The fire devours at me,

And jerks tears from my sockets,

My entire body ripple with jitters,

My thoughts like the scattering embers.

Overwhelmed is all I can feel,

And all I can do is curse myself,

For my reaction being so fierce,

Over something so friendly.

I hate this stupid hell circle,

It encircles me, boils my spirits,

It smothers me until I faint,

From its thick smoke of distress.

I’m decomposing so gradually,

Like sticks of positivity thrown in the fire,

I can’t take it anymore,

I can’t stand it- I can’t breathe.

There’s no hero in sight,

So I’m left to only burn,

And hope my tears,

Will douse the fire away.
