The fire roars inside
Screaming
"Feed me"
"Give me more"

I do
Even though I know
The tiny shreds I'm providing
Will only give it a short time to burn

But its flames
You should see its flames
Charging
Like a thousand warriors in combat
All fighting
All at once

They're so real
So me
Powerful
Immense
Grand
Invulnerable

I'm anyone i want to be
I'm a millionaire
A Don Juan
A James Bond
A Charles Bukowski
An Everest climber
Even a president

And when the flames start to flicker
I realize I would last much longer
If I built a proper fire for myself
Stoked it
Prodded it
Gave it time to heat up
And grow inside

I realize that
But how would I keep warm?

"I'm anyone I want to be"

What a great line!  A blazing way to make your debut at Passions....Welcome and I hope to see much more posted from you.

With a little piece of tomorrow,
You'll have to kiss yesterday goodbye.
Because today won't last forever,
And the past will only make you cry.

Welcome to Dark Passions!  Please excuse my late arrival on the welcoming wagon.
Great piece.  Keep the pen moving (so to speak)

Impressive style and content.  I'm glad that you, like so many here, aren't afraid to tackle a major internal problem through verse.  That's always been a major method for me to fight big problems.  

Welcome to Passions.  Hope you enjoy your stay, and keep up the good work!

Marcos...I agree, very nice first post.  Well done.  For a similar, but slightly different slant on this, go read my poem "White Powder"...you might find it interesting.  Hardrock
