As rapid and furious as fire,
it spreads its arms out
in a horrid display.
Is dominance over your life,
the card it often plays?
Or is what escapes your mouth
just used to getting, its own way?
For you to say, 'Yes.'
Though they all beg you, 'No.'
Your mind's power disintegrating
against the ones that tell you, 'lie.'
But instead you sit in bed, deteriorating
heart, mind and soul.
