Black Fire

entry picture

Everyone has a fire in their soul

A bright passion that makes them whole

An urge to follow like a fool

A desperate need to fulfill no matter how cruel

 

A bright spark in their eyes

A light that never dies

A wonderful dream that never lies

A reason to get up and rise

 

A star in their hearts to answer their wishes

A burning desire inside their chests

A cheery personality that entertains guests

An achievement to not make them feel less

 

Everyone but me

So, please do tell me

How does it feel? 

Is it actually ecstatically real? 

 

Unfortunately my fire turned black

It's still burning but the light is its lack

It's giving me third degree burn back to back

Without a goal or a passion, just a feeling like I'm a hack

"Everyone but me".

Parts of the media want to convince you that you are somehow inadequate, that you are somehow missing out; that unless you buy X Y or Z, you'll never be as happy as the grinning goons who perform moronic dances to sell us stuff we don't need😐.
