Vision blurred,
Eyes stinging from the sweat;
The opening of a closed door,
A burning building you'll not forget.

The heat begins it's run,
A sensation you can't ignore;
A grease fire out of control,
Melting butter in the sun..
As you find yourself once again,
where at once you were before..

Blisters on your soul,
as if from, the sun's direct heat.
Self esteem Like broken glass,
Beneath your bare two feet;

Stone faced, chiseled in concrete;
an ancient Roman sculpture,
As you taste the bittersweet..

Bells begin to toll,
As you settle on one knee;
Like waves of rushing water,
Unable to hear,
Unable to see...

Hours in just seconds,
becoming lost among the trees;
A winter without cold,
Changing many colors;
A hot summer breeze...
Sifting through the ashes,
From a life of burnt debris...

Climbing,
As you hang from loosened rock;
Regaining both your feet,
Though dare,
Do you try walk;
Dare,
Do you try speak..
Words barely mumbles
Try again, repeat;
Your mumbles come out slurred.
Symbolic are the few remains,
Still shackled to the beast,
That will never show refrain.

Living a life as if poison,
As its Flowing through an only vein.
Succumbing to the relief,
That circumvents your brain..
