Its funny how
If you don’t think about the pain
It ceases to exist
But its there
The burning of this everlasting fire
Is far more painful to just forget about
It rages inside me
Feeding off my every thought
My every emotion
leaving me in the ruins of “myself”
Filling my lungs with heavy dark smoke
Making it impossible to breath,
Or see past now
Let alone live
And I’m drowning in these black ashes
Which have coated my soul,
And harden
Leaving me trapped inside
Inside the place that scares me the most
The core of my torture
The place that is slowly killing me
And home to the demons inside
This fire is engulfing me inside
But then the pain bleeds through
And it terrifies me
But I say to myself
“Don’t think about the fire, The burning will soon end.”
And sometimes
If I’m lucky
The fire becomes a flicker
The smoke fades to a light cloud
The ashes crumble from my soul
And the pain ceases to exist
But even so
I will hurt tomorrow just the same

Dont knock on deaths door ...... ring the bell and run......he hates that

so true so true, you neglect the pain and it goes away just to come again later in life. The poem was really good I have read a bunch of your stuff and I really like it thanx

Very good work.  I especially enjoy the last 5 lines.  Very vivid.

I enjoyed this one. Good job here!
Hope to see more!

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily
