On anger…
A flame once lit is not easily put out.
This is even more so when it habitually decides
To take residence in one who is,
In entirety,
Covered in gasoline –
Dripping copious amounts along the way to serve as a path home,
Like breadcrumbs…
It takes but a second to ignite
And then,
Roaring,
Takes down cities in its wake,
burning bridges, causing panic, wreaking havoc.
What do we have left: soot and embers that can be reignited at any point.
It triggers an
out-of-body experience;
Igniting embers within you that you didn’t even know existed.
Your body is simply reacting to what is going on.
A flame once lit is not easily put out.
This is even more so when it habitually decides
To take residence in one who is,
In entirety,
Covered in gasoline –
Dripping copious amounts along the way to serve as a path home,
Like breadcrumbs…
It takes but a second to ignite
And then,
Roaring,
Takes down cities in its wake,
burning bridges, causing panic, wreaking havoc.
What do we have left: soot and embers that can be reignited at any point.
It triggers an
out-of-body experience;
Igniting embers within you that you didn’t even know existed.
You see yourself in motion as if in aerial view.
You can’t stop what’s going on at this point.
It’s a bit too late.
No amount of persuasion and reason can help you now.
You have been consumed and in the process, greedily consumed others.
