Word Picture III : FIRE

A vision of myself burning
Trapped inside my own mind
In a world full of others’ happiness and satisfaction
I remain petrified, unable to move
Sweat dripping from my fiery brow
My externalities remain calm
Lulling me to a painful slumber
The brilliant light that shines no more
I remain frozen to the core
Watching with no tears in my shameless eyes
Watching everyone I love, gradually walk away
All memories fade into supreme oblivion
The salty air leaving its traces on my lips
Burning from head to soul
Without a friendly face
Without a soothing voice
Nowhere to reach
Nowhere I have to be
