Black To The Fire (poem written 03-31-07)

Black To The Fire********** ********** In my pain,********** I will block out the sun.********** In the rain,**********

I could speak,********** But my tongue will be gone.********** They're just words,********** But they make your bones tremble.********** If I'm dark,********** It's because I can't think well.********** ********** Maybe it's because I'm just tired,********** Of all the bullshit,********** That sets me on fire.********** Yeah,********** That is it.********** It sets me on fire.********** ********** There is only one way,********** To put out the flames.********** When your eyes bleed,********** And your skin starts to crawl,********** Than you'll soon understand,********** Or stand at a distance,********** And watch the world fall.********** ********** Listen to me,********** I'll get black to the fire.********** Unless we all die,********** There is no other choice here.********** How far can your heart run?********** That's the question we're asking.******^^^* For we are the voices,********** Of reason and faction.********* ********** I know this sounds crazy,********** ...but I want to fight this.********** This might turn me dark,********** But it also might kill me.********** I don't want to be killed,********** By a fire inside me.********** The flames of which blaze,********** Like the fires of hades.********** ********** ...so this bullshit I'm told,********** It cannot be stopped.********** It comes at the world,********** Like an unending flood.********** But I can't help the fuel,********** To the fire,********** Within me.
