Spontaneous human combustion

There's a fire in my belly

Today is my day

Look in the mirror

I look hot!

I make her laugh

I'm on fire!!

My days all planned

Firing on all cylinders!!

 

There's a fire in my belly.

A mixture of fiery passion and suffocating smoke

It drives me, powering my engines, turning my cogs, driving me on.

The harder I work

The more I care

The greater the passion 

The more I stoke the fires in my depths

With each new challenge 

More fuel to the fire

With each hard word

Fuel to the fire

With each broken promise

Fuel to the fire

 

Until

 

My engines burst

And I self combust

I was waiting for the punch line at the end. Nice one! And thanks for the feedback on my poems too, really appreciated.

I also just read the poem "Kid". I imagine that is a great poem to perform.

Cheers,
Suki
