Like a flame

LIke a flame

wanted to know only

control the pain

and for a moment

it away from me

sometimes silence

can seem so loud

and in the bowels

see what s left

of me

like a flame

has consumed me

like a flame

devours me

and i look for see the light

but the darkness me saith alright

nothing is good enough

the struggle to excel

the despair of defeat

the passage of endless days
