The Fire Within

this was a rather insane mood of mine xD

I stand in my room,
insanity has control.
Things I've been through,
have taken their toll.
The room around me,
has been made a mess.
Old pictures around me,
I could truly care less.
These memories surround,
I must burn them all.
I take my time,
and let the gasoline fall.
I drench everything in sight,
I wont miss a spot.
For everything missed,
is a memory, not forgot.
Lighting a match,
the game has begun.
It falls to the ground,
and the deed is done.
I start to laugh,
fire burns away my sin.
My room is ablaze,
a spark, lit within...


The fire is done,
time put it out.
The room is blackened,
scorch marks about.
Movement begins,
there is still work to do.
I rise from the ashes,
born again, now anew.

This is the most fantastical poem i read so far on this website (i haven't read a lot LOL but still)...
I love dark poetry... and i like how u made urself sound like a psycho when u said "i started to laugh"...
well done... as long as u keep writing dark poetry... make sure that u send me requests to read...

Nicely penned- you really get your mood across as with most of your work. Strange to think of fire as being cleansing...but you gave that impression. Very unique.

wow.Very symbolic. I don't know of what yet, but I like the born anew part. Like a pheonix.
