Burn

This fire rushes through my body; I can feel it kiss my skin from underneath. The tears are born in my eyes and I can’t help but let my heart scream as loud as the blood allows it to. I wonder what is out there and why I’ve stayed in for so long, under this cloud of pain and horror. My arms move slowly and try to touch the lost sky I once said goodbye to. My life is leaving me. I am being born again somehow. I see the terror in my eyes when I look in the mirror. I wonder where I will be going to after all of this ends. I try to lead my thoughts to my past to not think about the pain, but it’s too late. There’s nothing there to distract me from that fire. There is nothing I can say or think of that will stop the burn. I let go and clear my head. I see a light but I am more alive and alert then I’ve ever been before. I am in shock, and also in a state of constant pain and panic. I chose to live. I feel the pain and I feel alive. I feel the tears run down my cheeks again. I feel my heart slow down and I begin to feel calm. I can finally concentrate on the light I see in the sky. I can finally move my arms again. I am weak, but I am awake. I am in pain, but I am in love. I am tied down, but I am free.
