Burnt Out.

Burnt Out.

A Poem by Jess Holden

I felt the seering pain start to slow,

as my tears stroll down my face.

I lift up the match to see the open bloody wound,

slowly starting to smoke.

My eyes open wide with amazement at the capability of what I could do to myself.

The tears start to slow and dry on my neck and cheeks,

as I pick up another match.

I'm burning myself out of this misery,

and I guess its working.

My smile feels so real,

until you get me alone with a match.

Leave me in this room with a lighter,

and watch me burn out.

Leave me alone in this house,

and watch me burn it down.

I'm too burnt out too care anymore.
