Tag: When you are engulged in flames

What do you do when you’re engulfed by flames?

Do you drop, dunk and roll?

Or do you decide you’ve lived long enough, and end up burning up and becoming a pile of ashes?

Or maybe the flames aren’t literal but all in your head.

For you messed up so bad that everything you touched was engulfed in flames.

And there was no going back for you messed up for good.

And as you cry, everything just disappears into thin air.

You than begin to worry if you will

always be so lonely and without all the things you loved.

You slowly start to change and don’t worry about how long it

may take  for the things you need are always around.

But no matter how many times you try to change the flames

soon surround you, and as you try to scream the flames begin to

engulf you.

And you’re gone and no one seems to have notice you’re not  acting like yourself anymore

and in the place of who you were is the flame.

It begins to burn every bridge you ever built and no one seems to care as you push them away.

And  you cry from the inside of the prison the flame left you in.

Maybe one day you will be able to fight away the flames that

engulfed the person you used to be and the people you used to care for.
