Forest Fire
Forest Fire
I wake and it hits me like a nuke forcing it’s way out of my skull
Those words repeated over and over, looping without any end
A forest fire is set off in my body and I feel like the wind was knocked out of me
My muscles tense and shake
Thousands of irrational thoughts now occupy my mind
Thousands of questions stab me in the heart as they are whispered in my ear
My eyes stare wide open without a blink
My muscles still randomly tensing making me shake uncontrollably
My trap pulls up tight again and cramps up without forgiveness
I writhe in pain and try to release it from the steel vice
I try to force my mind to wander but it’s heat seeking
I try to relax
I look through some photos but in every eye I see suspicion
Every person a threat
Every look a lie with a secret thought behind it
I see malice and my stomach turns in disgust
I feel destruction and I feel destroyed
Anger replaced with sadness
Strength by weakness
I wake and it hits me like a nuke forcing it’s way out of my skull
Those words repeated over and over, looping without any end
A forest fire is set off in my body and I feel like the wind was knocked out of me
My muscles tense and shake
Thousands of irrational thoughts now occupy my mind
Thousands of questions stab me in the heart as they are whispered in my ear
My eyes stare wide open without a blink
My muscles still randomly tensing making me shake uncontrollably
My trap pulls up tight again and cramps up without forgiveness
I writhe in pain and try to release it from the steel vice
I try to force my mind to wander but it’s heat seeking
I try to relax
I look through some photos but in every eye I see suspicion
Every person a threat
Every look a lie with a secret thought behind it
I see malice and my stomach turns in disgust
I feel destruction and I feel destroyed
Anger replaced with sadness
Strength by weakness
